As someone stated earlier, you have to go where the deer are. Now is a chance to learn how to hunt and not sit on a bait pile. You need to find where the deer are moving through and using the wind set up some stands to get them. I hunt in Va. where baiting is illegal so we have to go to the deer, we have to hunt. I will tell you this, once you learn how to hunt with out bait you will kill bigger bucks, older bucks generally will not eat from bait piles from what I have heard except at night, that is how they get big.
