Mini Water Holes
Here are two water holes I put in this past spring on our hill country land. It was a good year for these, as they filled up fast. They are just 55 gal plastic barrels, cut in half length wise. They are postioned, at the 1/3 level up th ridge, about 100 yards form some bedding areas. I hope that a buck, will want to visit early season, when its hot, on his way to feed in the evening. These pictures were took July 31.

Re: Mini Water Holes
Did you have buck or deer sign around them when you visited them?

Re: Mini Water Holes
Dan and ramblinman took my questions, but I too am interested in hearing if they're working for you.

Re: Mini Water Holes
I wouldn't put a camera on a water hole that is intended as a kill spot...

One of them had tracks all around and was getting used, the other one did not appear to be used yet. I have not put a camera over them, as I plan to hunt them early season.

Re: Mini Water Holes
I am interested to hear if you have success as well. The only concern I would have is their preference of stagnant water...lol Keep us posted buddy.
