Deer usually will not touch the bait till the acorns are goneI have to totally disagree with you on that one. On Sunday I had placed about 5 gallons of older apples near my stand along with some corn as well. Within 24 hours everything was totally gone. We have an abundant acron crop this year as well as a few corn fields plantes as well. Deer will eat what ever is there for them to eat. I would say he may want to move his stand. Is he using a food source that is not normally available through out the year? There are many factors thatmay be playing a roll in his problem. Just because he is baiting doesnt mean the deer are going to hit it? I would say use the resources available to you. Move the stand where you knowyou have good deer movement. Just off an access road through the woods is a great place to set up a stand this time of the year. If you can get the does in,they may bring the bucks in, but nothing works 100% when hunting. Another thing, dont use too much bait, the deer may become noctornal. I normally use only 2 gallons if that,which is regulated in Wi. I use it as a treat more than a bait. Make the deer find the treat, not the meal.
