RE: Baiting with deer corn
you can absolutely put the corn out the day of the hunt, but it would be better to bait a few days beforehand. if you put the corn out that day, it would be only good for the deer that would coming thru at that time anyway and would simply be more of a distraction to them. put it out a few days beforehand and you'll get some deer that wouldn't normally be visiting your area, as well.
