RE: What to do with gut pile?
When I hunt the 'Burbs, especially if it is early and warm, I go back with a shovel and bury it. I don't want complaints from landowners. Later on when the temps dip or when hunting public ground, I let 'em fly on the ground for the critters to eat. I have gone back the next day and you could not tell there was a gut pile.

Don't forget the Balls. In Texas you can be fined for not recovering all edible parts of the deer. Someone on this board said they eat them. So I guess you Texans better start looking for a tasty recipe. I would hate to see you get a fine.

A couple years ago we went down to Texas on a low fence ranch for a deer hunt.

If I'm near any water like a pond or creek, I'll drag the deer over to it before I start gutting so I can clean my hands after I'm finished. If not I just gut the deer where it lays and leave the gut pile there. In my experience it doesn't affect future deer movement.

During shotgun season, we drag them the the edge of the trees and field and gut em there. The landowners don't mind since it is usually a guy in our party that owns the land. and the birds and fox have it gone fast

I just gut them where they lay. The pile is usually mostly gone is a day or so and completely cleaned up in a few days. Doesn't hinder deer movement so I've seen. I've shot many deer right next to where I've shot a deer the day before.

I use the stomach lining as a water container, make deer calls out of the throat air tube, the liver and heart are good in chili and if you dry out the penis it makes a good tooth pic. I just leave it all lay, it draws in the coyotes and feral dogs than I can shoot them too!

Huh, I'll take my chances with the fine [:-]
I've only taken 2 whitetails in my short career, and I dragged it off into the brush around where I was cleaning. Two days later there wasn't a speck of nothing left of it!

take them and use them for coyote bait, and bag me a few yotes the land I hutn on most of the time the land owner has lots of chickens and pet rabbits that the coyotes like to snack on so I use the guts to pull them away from the land owners pets and bag them with either my bow or my 22-250 and drop them at 250 yards fun,fun
