Default RE: Baiting

Not sure where you're hunting but if you are anywhere where there is a food source then you already have bait and if you have deer, then you obviously have a food source and therefore you are in luck and already have enough bait needed to hunt deer. Throwing down a pile of corn usually only attracts does, fawns, and really young and dumb bucks. Most action is nocturnal at a bait site and as far as corn goes, it is a fact that too much corn can be harmful, if not fatal, for deer. The corn is very acidic and too much corn can kill necessary bacteria within the digestive system of a deer which results in a fouled up digestive system which results in severe bloating, lethargy, and perhaps death. So if you're looking for any easy way to get a deer within 20 yards, bait is not the answer. Focus on food, bedding, and transitions between the two for stand locations...good luck.
