Anyone using the new Gut Pile in a bag preditor attractant?

Sounds like a neat idea, not sure if I would bait then come back and bait some more or what.

That's one product that I'll let someone else try first. I just don't know how it could possibly be enough volume or smell to be around long enough to make a difference. Given it's light weight and size I think it could have it's place. I imagine it could have very good uses for catching predators on trailcams.

For now, I'm content picking up road kills as I find them and putting them out.

Can't say how good it works. We got some in the store in June. Of course we had to open the bag. It is cheap entertainment, but gosh does it stink. If you have ever seen Jeff Foxworthy's routine on guys and something that really sticks, you would have some idea of what the firearms and archery guys were like for a few days!
Bfly

I saw that I bet it would be good for coyote or javelina

Gut piles don’t attract coyotes to the gun instantly, not during big game hunting seasons.

Yeah you are probably right, the crows would probably eat the whole thing before the Coyotes got to them.

marq.....

Correct.

"Yeah you are probably right, the crows would probably eat the whole thing before the Coyotes got to them."

The issue with an attractant laying ON the ground is that it gets snatched up early by unwanted scavengers, Magpies, Crows, Vultures, including (in some agricultural locales) the neighbor's Cats & Dogs, etc. OR grabbed up & taken away to be consumed in a more secure environment.

Even Sardines, Fish, Road Kill, Gut Piles, etc., that are real attractors due to their odor & are lightly covered get removed quickly.

While not condusive to being used in some locations, we use @ 12"-15" length of 4" diameter PVC pipe buried in the ground at a slight angle. The diameter of the pipe is perfect for Foxes to get their head into/out of; so condusive for our target Varmint. While we don't have Coyotes here I would imagine it ought to work Stateside, too. If continually re-filled & topped-off with "Goodies" (primarily Road Kill w/Can of Sardines on top) creates a good scent attractor that quickly becomes a regular part of Varmints daily routes/routines. The key with this Set-up is to make them have to stop and work at getting the Goodies outa the pipe.

When used in conjunction with a good natural, semi-permanent or permanent blind set-up for advantageous prevailing wind, cover & concealment, these can become real Hot Spots; especilly if left to cultivate for a period and then used when conditions are optimal such as snow, frozen ground, hard frost, moonlit nights, etc. We tend to try the Set-Ups far enough away from the blind to afford good entrance/exit so as not to disturb their routes and optimally with a light colored background as possible (I've been know to lay out straw, use sand or otherwise to develop the background to be a light as possible) since artificial light is NOT legal here. If it's legal to avail yourself of a Spotlight for such purposes; all the better.

Anyway, when the Fox has his head in the pipe; that's when I do the "Confirming Zero" Trick with my .222 Remington. Best effort was 5 in one night off the same pipe and I still made it to the Pub for a Beer before closing time.

Be sure to consult local Game Laws before using such, too.

Wow Gerry, that's a great idea. Going to give it a try after deer season is over.

Red,

Hey, I really enjoy Outa-the-Box thinking.....if like many of us you hunt sorta between the wide open spaces, agricultural land and suburbia this is a POSITIVE winner. Just pick your spots judiciously, use them even more judiciously and wait until the Vermin/Coyotes/Foxes/Skunks/Possums/Bobcats start to frequent the "Main Event". I've had Foxes climb over their (recently expired) Kin to get to their noses into the "Pipe" Take enough ammo with you.

When Deer, Turkey, Bird & Duck seasons are over and the Oklahoma plains are freezing in January & Febuary - some Folks may consider the hunting season is over.....Well; think again, drag your .222, .223, or .243 out for a evening/night (give it 3/4 hours at a good frequented spot) and see what shows up at the local Buffet! It's like a new lease on Life - it adds a whole 'nother season to hunting!

Let us know how your efforts result!

It's just as simple as I've described it but make it STINKY!

Waidmannsheil!
