Deer love apples and if you want to see deer, apples will work. However, the "big boys" tend to be too smart to visit bait piles in the daylight. They don't get old by being dumb.

I started as a Jr. Baiter took me a while to get to be a master baitr.

if they are on their way to the pile to get there after dark, i could prob catch them on the way during daylight i would think. i know alot of people on here dont believe in baitpiles, but i gotta do what i gotta do to get them over here BEFORE the rut starts

Hunt them the way you want to.Deer love sweet stuff.Put some pears down and get ready.

can you hunt over bait in your state cuz in ga you cant be within 200 yars of it. not even a bird feeder

You should PM Tristatehunter. He's been doing it so long I think he's a master baiter.

Nevermind...

I think it depends on a lot of vaiables.......food availability, your deer population, the time of year, the area..........I've got one lease I bait with corn, it usually works well despite the amount put out until the acorns drop, then the deer ignore it till the acorns go wormy. I've got another place and it's the same except that when they start hitting the corn again it's always at night (maybe because of the distance of the bedding areas, the hunting pressure, or influence of a dominate doe or buck). I've got a bud that baits behind his house and the population is so large and the food so scarce that they always come during daylight, especially when it's cold.
