[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5753357, member: 20583"] A 24/7 water hole is quite effective if placed in a spot convenient and safe for the deer to access. 10gal is not near big enough. You'll need 100gal minimum just to keep it from evaporating quickly. I've got one that gets used so heavily that I've filled it twice since August. When it gets low they literally step their front hooves down into it to get their head in for a drink. It's 150gal. I like putting them along travel route between food and bedding. I also put a mineral lick and mock scrape up at them. During summer when they're on mineral heavy, they really use the water. Then in fall bucks cruise by it and hit the scrape and/or get a drink. Water holes are right up there with food plots if placed correctly. [/QUOTE]
