I do not have any fields only woods, so instead of calling it field dressing would you call that woods dressing?
I shot two deer opening day this year, gutted them not 30 yards from my stand, had seven deer the next daycome right to the piles and smell them.

Around here we just leave the gut pile where the animal was shot. Some years the gut piles are cleaned up pretty fast and other years are not even touched. The crows and magpies sure do a good job in cleaning up after us...

Gut them where they fall. I've shot deer 3 days in a row from the same stand and off the same trail. Plus it gives you a chance to see other game you normally wouldn't see.

We take our deer back to the ranch house on the four wheeler and hang them up to gut. I guess it doesn't matter, I just think it's more convienant personally. Would yall say a gut pile would be a good bait for coyotes and bobcats? I guess it'd also be a good one for buzzards...but those don't interest me too much. lol

Check with the land owner first, if private property, and if okay leave it there for other animals and the like to clean it up.
