Hunting in Colorado this year (October) we had one buck's gut pile disappear overnight, one bull's gut pile that sat for about three days before being eaten, and one cow elk's gut pile that was also gone overnight. This all happened roughly in the same area during the same week. I think next year I'll set up a game camera on a gut pile to catch some coyotes or bear on video, just because.

where are all these hunting dogs that are conditioned to come to gunshots?
I've never had an animal come running to me after i shot a gun, have you?
has anybody?
No, every animals instinct is to run, which is why people have to use blank guns to train dogs. because otherwise they would run away.
are you trying to tell me hunters use gunshots as a come command?
if they did they would be stupid because their dogs would obviously run away from them.
foxpros new big bang predator call: yes friends just like every time you shoot a deer and a grizzly bear comes barreling out of the woods at you. well we here at foxpro have replicated that. no bullet wasted and you dont even need a deer! so come on and ring that dinner bell.
msrp $599
would that surprise you?

I've heard of the coat thing, or hat or whatever.
smart idea and normally works, especially with wool
i've owned a few beagles
one was rabbit hound association (i dont know what that is just the lady i bought her from gave me the papers, i guess they just know the dogs lineage or whatever)
your dog was a special case, not to be afraid. none of the hound guys here use a gunshot to bring in their dogs. the serious guys use gps collars now. and have always just whistled or hooped, never fired their gun. at the most all ive ever heard is a pea whistle. why waste a shell? when a pea whistle is plenty loud.
youre the one reapeating bs you heard on alaskan wilderness shows as if it were the gospel. do you have any eveidence that grizzlies come to gunshots? no? then its BS!

I used to shoot sparrows around the farmstead for years and at first I would call the cats when I got one to give it to them.It got to be after every time my 20 ga.barked the cats were runnin to me and meowin their heads off for the bird.It was a hoot.I,m not in a area with Bears but between the yotes,possums,coons,etc.the g/piles don,t last long.I don,t like heart and liver so if I get a deer and can,t get back to the kill site before dark to get it for my dogs about half the time those parts are gone by the next morning.

I'm a suburban hunter and sometimes the gut piles are a little close to houses. However, they never make it through the night. I was once again amazed this season how fast one of the gut piles got cleaned up. Not a morsel remained.
I remember another time I dropped a doe close to my stand and after waiting about ten minutes, I got down and gutted her. Within the hour, a red fox came sprinting through the wood towards the gut pile. Really gives you perspective on how hungry they must get...
The bear thing; that's honestly a little unnerving. When I first started reading the posts on this this thread, I thought even a bowhunter would have a bear come into the scene possibly a little too early for comfort.

I don't have one, so I can't do it myself, but a trail cam might get some interesting footage if posted after field dressing. I'd be curious how quick they get to it.
