[QUOTE="John3, post: 4073154, member: 11348"] 3 years ago I shot a doe on opening morning of rifle season and gutted her in the edge of the field. The next morning I had a really big 10 point coming straight toward me down the tree line. Where the Doe fell and I gutted her was in a low spot that I couldn't see from the stand. I was waiting on the buck to come up out of the low spot to shoot, but the next time I saw him he had turned and was trotting away spooked from where the pile was. I don't know if it was the guts, my scent, or coyote scent that spooked him. He was really wide but didn't have great tine length but I would have been extremely happy to put him on the wall. Never saw him again. From then on, if at all possible, I get the deer out before field dressing. [/QUOTE]
