Was the buck he shot a loner or in a group of deer? A gut pile does not mean human, it means something died. A group of deer that all of the sudden one of their buddies dies raised concern. There are a multitude of variables. I just know I have seen way too many deer check ladder stands before entering fields or walking in the woods. I still hunt them, but as the season grows I start flanking them. I also like the idea that was originally brought up of hunting above them.
We forget this is their backyard and they notice subtle changes....If your neighbor is sitting on their porch when you come home you notice them. They might not raise concern to you. If one day you come home your neighbor shoots at you or your buddies, you will definitely notice him sitting in his porch everytime after that and proceed with caution until the threat is gone.
