It's even better if you have some good plastic or tin to line the bottom with the help prevent the water from seaping into the ground.
Good luck!
and how does the water get there...rain run-off...i dont see a pot of water in the woods bein appealing to deer, when they live there and know where the best water sources are. sorry, i am just seein a stagnated water hole? got a pic?
