RE: bigger bait piles
While I am not a baiter my grandfather was. I can say the more bait the worst you will be off.
A half of a 5 gallon bucket is all you need. You want to create competition for the bait among the deer. If you have a small amount the deer will come to it earlier. So it is not gone. If you havepiles of the stuff they will learn they can wait and come in at night.
less bait is better IMO Why feeders that spread small amouts of bait work so well

I use corn and 50 pound apple licks and that seems to do the trick. The lick gurantees to keep them coming back even when I can't get back every week or two to fill the corn.

Dude it's the same thing, hunt how you want. Everyone things they know best, if you're happy have at it.
