[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5752247, member: 20583"] I've come to rely pretty heavily on water holes. Having a 24/7/365 water source conveniently located doesn't just attract deer during dry times. It becomes a staple that they gear movement patterns around. Deer use my water holes year round. They're a regular stop along the feed-bed-feed-bed circuit. I put them between doe bedding and food sources such as plots or acorn groves. Bucks follow the trail that the does use and make it a scrape line, and there's always a scrape next to the water or one each side of it. I just started using them a few years ago. Wish I'd been doing it all along but never bothered because I always heard deer don't need water because they get it from their food. Well, if they don't need it they sure do enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
