    I've 7 bacherlor 6-8 point bucks at my bait pile where I will be hunting. I know when the rut kicks in they will not be together. My question is should I continue to bait and hope that it will bring the Does in the area, which will bring the bucks back? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Well if baiting is legal i would continue baiting. Even though a lot of those bucks will probably broaden there range they will still know that there will be does in that area so they will return periodically to check if any are in estrous.

    Some of those specific bucks might not come back but others will come because of the does.

    Oh they'll be back!!! although as hunting pressure increases and the rut gets closer they will split up and broaden their range, but when the rut gets here if the does are there they will definitely still be checking it out.
