I’ve thought about placing a trail camera over a deer gut pile for at least 25 years. Since I had an extra Moultrie Edge cellular camera in my backpack on Jan. 21, 2024, I seized the opportunity to place the camera on a fresh gut pile in Sussex County, Delaware. (Not my deer, however.)
I suspected foxes and buzzards would visit the pile, but the camera picked up so much more–including a white-tail buck, coyotes (at least one), a bald eagle, and owls! I wish I would have done this years ago!
Interestingly, I’ve hunted this location for years and never saw or received any pics of coyotes. I know there are some in the area, but it seems they are quite secretive. Additionally, I suspected deer may investigate gut piles of other deer, but now I have proof!
Check out the video, and let me know what you think.
