I believe that if you bait in the same spot year after year big bucks will come during daylight hours and you will have the oportunity to harvest the animal if you put in the time. I think the young bucks you see the first year you hunt over bait, if they feel comfortable hitting it, the next year when they're older they'll continue to hit it and so on and so on the older and older it gets. I hunt with a guy who hunts over bait, he baited last year and saw only young bucks. This year he baited in the same spot and took a beautiful 130 class 8 point with an 18 1/2 inch spread off the pile.
