DEER DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS
 

I have been baiting and i am getting alot of action on my piles but it is after dark.I cant seem to get the deer out during the daylight hours any ideas? Opening day isnt far away

Maybe try to make your bait pile a little smaller so the deer have something to come early for instead of thinking it'll be there all night so they dont have to worry about it.

i have a couple of small piles set up with different kinds of bait carrotts, apples, pears, and corn

Maybe its because of the moon? I havent been seing alot of deer around here in the field during daylight hours.

i have several feeders running, hardly ever do i get daylight pics, if i do, its usually a few does, but plenty of night pics,those big boys know its not natural.no hunting pressure in the area either, except the last two weeks, and the feeders are removed.hers a pic of one licking his lips as he approaches.

The sad fact is, bait piles/feeders allow them to feed at night, they no longer have to "work" for their food, no more hours of browsing.
Now its just hit the bait pile in the dark twice a night for a full days supply of food.

You "may" shoot a fawn off the bait in day light, but that is about it.

Slackdaddy maybe you dont shoot any deer off baitpiles but i sure in the hek do! I've had alot of bucks come in during daylight hours. lastyear i shot a big 10 and couldnt find it and then a 8. So sorry but your wrong on that one!

I have to go along with wisbowhunter2009I have shot bucks off the bait pile and right around also. If all you are getting is night time shot find out which way the are comming in and set up off the pile.

Is the property big enough to put the bait pile deeper so you can catch them after they've left down the trail in the morning?

My brother has shot two off his pile! The second one that he shot Muzzle loader)was half hour before dark! The deer still came in an hour later and cleaned him out!
