Same here. During slug season we party hunt and have left gut piles all over the place and shot deer the very next day feeding in close proximity to the previous days kill. The deer could care less. The only real risk is ifthe area is heavily populated by 'yotes and they could come in and stir up the deer. Most piles don't last a full 24 hours before they are nothing but a bloodspot on the dirt. Death is a fact of life in the wild.
