RE: small water holes
There is a small water hole I am hunting by right now and to keep it filled I have a plastic 55 gallon drum with a nozzel and piece of hose, works like a charm and the drum empties in about two minutes. I dont use a pump either, just let gravity do the work.

what about fortifying the hole with a salt block or mineral block? Wouldnt that make it more attractive, and have the added benefit of nutrition?

RE: small water holes
A small isolated water hole can be hard to beat whe located in the right early season location. Plus, I consider a waterhole a MUST HAVE on any property. Good luck with your project.
