I think a buffet of corn will just make them eat it at night, but thats my opinion and nothing to back it up. I agree
There are no rainy days...

Corn don't make deer move at night on places I hunt. If you know what you're doing, you can kill good deer because of it too. I don't care what somebody else's research says. I know what mine says and that's all that matters to me.

100 people on 4000 acres sounds alittle to crowded too me! Thats what it had as of 2 yrs ago...he gets land lease cheap... Pockets rest...he lives on the place in a trailer with his wife...they hunt every day of deer season...Of course their the only ones there a lot of days of the week... Has a trailer park on it...Has to be a trailer with tie downs installed...says its a safety issue and his insurance requires it...Of course the water and sewage water bill is a set amount of $250.00 a year.... must be hooked up to his septic system...probably 30 trailers on it... ....seems he ALWAYS a trailer or 2 for sale...

I think they will move during the day but the corn pile aint the reason for them moving.

They don't always hit corn at night the same way they don't always hit foodplots and acorns at night. The pressure around the food source dictates the movement more than the type of food source.

I would agree with that and thats the reason I stated "corn pile" as opposed to feeding station. If its a corn pile then it is either making whiskey or somebody is refreshing it and they dont like either.

I dont think it makes them move at night but I think if they have a corn pile available 24hrs a day then they will hit it mostly at night. Sure. And they will mostly hit a green field that is available to them 24hrs a day at night also. What's the difference? Why would corn make them nocturnal but not the green field?

my experience with corn is: My friend who hunts with me on a 1000 acre place feeds corn all the time continuously. I do not allow him to go on my areas to feed. As a result I kill more good deer than he does every year. If I hunt on one of his stands all I see is does and when he hunts on my stands he sees not as many does but sees some bucks. Feeding corn Ive found over the years will attract a lot of young deer and does. The mature bucks will eat at night and move on. Rarely will you see a mature buck in the daytime eating your corn. but what It will do is keep deer in the area. Only my observation.

food doesn't make them nocturnal, pressure makes them nocturnal I agree with this ^^^ but corn usually indicates hunting pressure. That is why there is a difference in baiting and feeding.

From my 5 year QDMA study on 800 acres as of last year many posts here are pretty accurate and then some didn't pertain to the 800 I studied.
I had every natural source for the deer to utilize. I added the large and small food plots and bait piles. I had whole corn, food blocks, attractants, field corn on the cob etc. at the bait piles. I had 24 camera's spread around at bait piles, plots, creek crossings, rut trails, scrapes, path ways to bedding areas, power line crossings, white oak forests, clear cut edges etc.
One thing as mentioned before the #1 thing that trumps anything out there for deer is "hunger" The rut doesn't compare, it just makes bucks stupid and the deer more active racing around causing....... "hunger" I never used any cover scents, gloves etc. when doing any feeding or cam checking each Saturday for 5 years all year long. They still showed up and sometimes just hours since I was there.
If you stink naturally, smoke, drink alcohol, dog crap on your boots, fried food smell then expect to be had either hunting or just visiting briefly to the spot. 4 wheelers, vehicles exhaust and oil leaks don't help either and leave residual funk way after your gone.
I had deer at bait stations day or night at anytime of the year, 3-4 year old bucks were the oldest I estimated while studying. All the deer got used to the bait piles quickly and the doe doesn't give a crap what's up most of the time if not pressured so, if she smells like a walking restaurant to the others they'll follow and you know who will follow also (Mr. buck)
I'm giving info from the study I performed doing the QDMA test and didn't have any pressure on the herd like "Vietnam" as fore mentioned from another member. The "brown it's down" theory didn't exist and I hate that theory anyway. This may or may not mimic your given locations but, I had all that time to study the herd of over 40 deer not counting stranger bucks that wandered in during the rut or were (spikes) chased off from neighboring property looking for a new turf to call home.
There was 1250 acres around this 800 that was QDMA practiced and not a battlefield either full of hunters using that dreaded BID theory. It was hunted and Mature bucks 8pt and 5 years up were harvested giving me the obvious of why the younger 3=4 year old 6 and 8pts were what I observed.
The deer browsed regardless of what we put out there BUT, the 40 (not all together of course) always, several times in a 24 hour period would visit the food dumps or plots for a quick taste. Just like clockwork.
I'll post some of the junk I used and the plots. I'll dig up some of the deer pics as well. The bucks are not goliath like up North but, were good for GA deer anyway.
Put it out and they'll come when their ready and I saw deer regardless of wind, rain, cold or even sitting up/down wind.
Personal hygiene, sitting still, cover and concealment works. It won't if you have mega jokers rambling around, smoking, hollering, atv's, trucks etc. racing back and forth or hunters coffee'd up or geeked up + being impatient.
I could've killed mega deer over corn there's no doubt about it.
