How long does it take deer to find your corn ?

I have a spot with a cut corn field so I am sure the deer are already hitting it some but how long does it typically take for them to find corn that you put out? 3-4 days, 1 week+ ?
Thanks

1-3 days they should be on it good. If it is well traveled.

Ive had deer eat a smaller corn pile down in one night. I had a camera out in front of a small corn pile at the beginning of the season and it was gone the next day with a lot of pictures on the camera. I hunt an area thats not that big though so that could be a factor.

Like others have said it doesn't take them long to find it.....I remember in early november, I put a 50lb bag out in front my stand and had a doe come feed on it an hour later....also a booner 10pt came and fed on it while the doe was still eating but I just couldn't get a shot on the big boy.....

I'm about to put 100lbs out in the next few days....

if you pour some powdered attractant on it it speeds up the process ive found we got some purina quikdraw free with ten bags of corn and they found the quikdraw within a three hours of it being put out so i would definitely add some powdered attracting to the corn
