One of the reasons I have over 20 pieces of private land to hunt on is that I promise not to leave gut piles on the property.
The other reason I have lots of private posted land to hunt on is because other hunters have left gut piles on the property.
Other spots, no problem, gut them where they fall, but i wouldn't call myself brainwashed by any means.
Considerate? Yes.
Wanting to hunt in a particular spot where I see up 10 -15 deer a day , again, next year ? Yes.
Ill do whatever it takes, even if it means gutting the animal somewhere else or throwing a pitch fork and a few heavy duty trash bags in the truck for the season.
That is different. You are obeying specific restrictions the land owner has placed on you in order to have the priveledge of hunting his land. If he does not want gut piles on his property then golly gee we dont leave gut piles on his property.
Would you do the same in a state forest as Harrihiker has suggested one should do?
