It's funny how easy it is to train deer to come into a baitpile....Our deer camp in Northern WI is right next to a guy that baits on his back 40...He told us all he has to do to get them to come in to the baitis clank 2 buckets together....like clockwork five minutes later they come in....granted these are mainly young deer but it is as simple as that...the bigger mature deer still wait until dark to hit the bait. Baiting sucks plain and simple.
