Mature bucks will visit bait sites but all deer even does will go largely nocturnal on a long term bait. Most daylight activity occurs in the few days after a bait is started. Problem I've ran into is estrus does staying in thick brush during their breeding time and not hitting baits. YMMV.
impossible to give an accurate answer. Every area and every single buck in any given area is different. Ive hunted bucks that stay 365 days in the same area, I have hunted bucks that move tremendous amount and everything in between.Its amazing how much a whitetail can be a homebody. An example just this year is I was bouncing cams around this summer trying to pin down a home range of a buck. I had him on cam at 1 spot quite abit I moved a cam straight west 300 yards and never captured a single pic of him, but did have another buck show there that never showed at the other cam. It would take either one of these bucks minutes to show up at either cam. I have more stories like this than I could remember. I have moved cams 100-300 yards and it was a night and day difference in target buck sightings.
