Would it be a good idea to hunt around any water that ISN'T frozen these last few days? I'd say that the deer are getting kinda thirsty. Flowing creeks is what I had in mind.

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.
