i would think water is the least of thier worries right now.

Between food and water, water is the one thing that you'll die from not having in the shortest time. Animals will dehydrate faster in these temps than in the summer. Food they eat now will also has less moisture in it than in summer/ spring.

guess you must hunt some dry areas.there are a lot more creeks and other watering areas in a deers home range than you would think.They seem to need it way more in temps over 90 than they do now.if you think it will work then have at it.

Deer need water every day. Lots of land has ponds and sinkholes that hold water.All those are frozen now.Its a great idea to hunt running water now.

Ok then hunt them.Was just saying there are a lot of water out there now even with ponds and other areas frozen.the areas I hunt have tons of these creeks so hunting them would not be good but if hunting flat land with not much water it might work.

Deer get the vast majority of their water needs from the plants they eat.

Does this need get meet as well during really cold spells like now or in winter as well?

WQell he may be the big game guy but i think that is hog wash.No way a deer can get his daily requirements for water through the frost on plants he eats.Snow maybe,frost never.

1 of my farms is more than a 1/2 mile from nearest water hole.I put in water hole and see the same deer come in daily and drink for 3-5 minutes every day.No way they can get that much water from frost.

they get water from frost

Not enough.When everythings been frozen for days deer dont get water from frozen mud either.I still say hunting running water now is a good idea.

Deer can do just fine with no standing water at all (no ponds, no creeks etc.) They can always find a mud hole or again, utilize what they get internally from plants.

Deer exist even in near desert environments, with no standing water for miles.

Now if you create a water hole, they will certainly use it, but they don't require it to survive.

then hunt them.several of us have told you how it is but you seem to know better than all of us so go hunt your water and prove us wrong about it.

Ask my wife, I am the KING of proving myself wrong! I'll prove it!

hey you just asked a ? mr bro is the one I was really talking about.He doesn't want to believe any of us so I was telling him to hunt it.The running water might freeze this weekend.lol gonna be cold.

I give up.Yall are right .Yall know it all.I'm still learning everyday about this deer hunting.
