So i put a DIY water hole in on the farm that I hunt since there wasn't much of any water on this farm.
I put it in a low area so it'll refill as it rains.
I've come back about 2 months after the initial "install" date and there are tadpoles and mosquito larva in it which doesn't surprise me, but it raises a question:
I don't think the tadpoles will be a big deal, but should I put mosquito tablets in the water? If I did, would the tablets ruin the water for deer drinking it? If I don't, Will the mosquitos repel the deer away from the water?
Thanks for any info. The video is from when I went to check trail cameras today during my lunch break. You can see the tadpoles and mosquito larva in the water.
