Baiting only leads to nocturnal behavior, imho, when feed is available through the night. You have to train your deer to eat during daylight hours and they will move more during the day. I'm not talking about does and young buck only, but also mature deer.

does the natural forage just up and leave when the sun sets? I dont think its the corn that make them nocturnal its Bubba stomping thru the woods 2 and 3 times a week to dump a 50lb sack out. Im gonna be using a 55 gallon drum i rigged up with timer and a 2x4 bolted to one side so i can just strap it to a tree like a ladder stand it holds close to 5 bags but i usually set it to keep corn on the ground 24 hours a day deer will leave a broadcaster in favor of a corn pile if they have to pick thru the leaves too much.
