waterhole

I made this spot last year with a kiddy pool from Fleet farm. I still can’t believe how much attention it gets. Going to put another one in next spring. Couple pics

I saw someone do this on Midwest Whitetail this season. Are you filling the pool or is the natural rain fall able to fill it?

I know our water tank is a highway during the summer months and it’s pretty darn regular this time of year also.

My friend did the same thing on his farm in Wisconsin and has a couple Covert 3G Code Blacks over the water, so he gets real time photos. The Deer are constantly around the waterhole. I don’t know how he gets any sleep at night with his phone going off!

If we get rain it will fill naturally, but no rain in the last month so I have been filling it every weekend with a 55 gallon barrel. They drank half the pool between Thursday when my brother filled in and Sunday when I refilled it. 363 pics on the waterhole in a week.

Thats sweet. Im totally going to do that this spring…. Whats better in the spring and summer after a 1/2 hour of licking the Trophy Rock ?…….. Has to be some water to wash it down… Kinda like the salt crumbs at the bottom of a pretzel bag.. or hammering a whole pepperoni pizza ( all you want is a huge glass of water)

Can that be legally hunted over or do you need to remove it? Thanks…

Nope, you don’t need to remove it, for sure in Wisconsin, not positive in Minnesota but I think you can.

Usually after hammering a whole pepperoni pizza, I am in my chair ready to fall asleep and all of a sudden to lazy to get a big glass of water.

You can go to most any ag supply company and get these totes for next to nothing. I have $20.00 into a cattle water tank float, $5.00 in hose and $20.00 in fittings to neck down the tank. We have a spare tote we haul water with, about 150 gallons at a time. Typically I fill the 350 gallon tank a couple times a summer/fall.
