RE: Is my bait pile big enough?
Baiting is illegal in VA so I have no first hand experience but from what I've read you see more bucks and in the daylight when you don't put out as much bait. If the bait is a small amount and only dispenced in the morning the deer have to be sure they're the first ones there to get the bait or it's all gone. If it's an unlimited pile they can come when they feel like it, which for bucks usually means night.
