RE: does blood spook deer
I once gutted a doe about 50 yards from my stand. It was traveling with another doe. I left with the doe and my dad went to the stand as soon as I got back to camp. He said he seen a doe sniff all over the gut/blood pile and started smelling further out and around from the pile. I believe it was the second doe looking for the other. He took another deer, within 50 minutes of the doe I took, from the same stand!!
