people get the impression that you dump corn and the deer come running in, that is not true. The are often more cautious. Along with baiting we do scout alot. We hunt where thick swamps meet ridges and hardwoods. This year i sat 50 yds from a tagelder swamp to the north. On the edge of a 20yd wide strip of thick pines, so to the east. To the west, and farther east 2 big ridges funneled down to like a valley and the deer would work there way down the sides. It was at that spot where we had most of our bucks on camera. And to tell you the truth only a few deer came into the bait. mosy of the bucks were checking scrapes. The does came in, and the bait is the reason the does hung around and therefore the bucks. The buck i ended up shooting was cruising for does on the edge of the thin strip of swamp.
