I really don't think that putting out bait will draw deer in from all over the place. Only the deer who normally visit that area where it was put out will stay close to it, so it looks like a lot of deer are there. Deer don't travel long distances, only bucks will during the rut. And they will only travel 5 to 10 miles out of their normal home range and I believe they go back to it. Just like people above have said--why put stuff out when there is already thousands of acres of nutritious food already out there. How about a natural lick? Only those animals in that area will use it. You won't get animals coming from all over hell's half acre to get to it. I think there is misunderstanding because people really don't understand it. BL
