Is anyone putting in any water holes this year? How are you going to go about it?

One I put in last week. Customer sent me pic today with 2-3' of water in it.

Shed in the little water hole on my farm. I actually built it as part of our cross country course for horses, they ride- jump in and out of water. The deer prefer it to the pond 70 feet away, maybe because it’s shallow and rock lined? I picked up 6 sheds within 100 feet of it this year.

IBH if the budget allows line one edge with gravel with an easy slope in. My little water hole is 75 feet from my pond and the deer prefer to drink out of the gravel lined puddle.

U can attest to that also. Dads pond is 6.6 acres and there are 2 silt ponds that feed it that have big erosion stone at either end. The tracks are crazy at the stone. That is definitely where they prefer to drink. That and tons of tracks in the sand on the beach.
