First welcome to the board. Hunting a water source in the southeast is probably a hit or miss thing to do. Usually too much available. Usually at different times of the hunting season there are many food sources, but usually there are some that are more preferential. Early in the season white oaks are good, then as they disappear food plots, honeysuckle, and briars get better. Locate and hold does with a good food plot or an agriculture field that has plenty of food left in it till the rut is probably the best bet.
