Title: Predator Pile?
Post by: PolarBear on January 22, 2008, 08:27:19 PM: I just saw in the Cabela's catalog a new product called Predator Pile. It is an artificial "gut pile" for drawing in coyotes, etc. There are 3 "gutpiles" per bag and at only $15 a pop. I m thinking about giving it a whirl. Has anyone here tried or heard anything about it?

Post by: PolarBear on January 23, 2008, 05:38:48 AM: My neighbor supplies me with a bunch of dead cattle. I usually have to go over and shoot several for him each spring. He hauls the carcasses out in the back 100 so that I can see them from the house. I just take a peak every now and then and wind up running down to the barn with gun in hand to pop another one. I was thinking that this product would be good for places where it isnt practical to haul in a carcass. I bet it would work well on cats as well. I do see a problem with it attracting bears though, that could get a little sticky.

Aren't cats and doggies coming in to the scent of their quarry/carrion.....? :dunno: Seems like if you just place a plastic gutpile look-a-like, that you arent going to draw in many predators, but birds.....IMSO

(In my stupid opinion...)

It's artifical...not plastic.
It smells and is edible--but it's not a *real* gut pile.

I've used dead cattle in the past as well, much in the same manner as above. Works especially well when partially buried--the dogs stick around a bit longer digging for the *good stuff.*
