I have also shot deer over gut piles that I have left and others I have found. Did not seem to bother the deer at all. I have also shot a deer early then gutted taged it and left it lay went back in stand and had a buck wind it mosey over for a closer look got him also. Death is part of there natural world they do not run away. I have friends that have shot a deer nearly every year with a smoke hanging out of there mouth. I have also witnessed old timers that had small fires burning that shot deer while staying warm didn't seem to bother the deer either. I know when you have a campfire put it out go fishing and come back hours later its common to have deer track all thru camp and into the fire ring.
