Will it work????
 

Thinking of putting a kidde pool in one of my hunting areas and putting some water in it. Will this get results???? Was thinking of adding water every 4 or 5 days. Thanks!!!!

Wow. 31 views and no one has replied. How about opinions on whether it will or won't work???? Anyone?????

I think that it will. There is a tub near my blind and I have seen a doe drinking from it.

sounds like a pain in the a$$ and real time consuming to be hauling water every 4 days.

I agree with bowtine. It's alot of work for not necessarily alot of good results. Besides, one well placed hoof will puncture the plastic. Perhaps a smaller livestock tank would be better. Or even a 55 gallon poly drum cut in half. I can get the 55 gallon drums around here for $5. You can cut it in half horizontally and make 2 great big "buckets" or you can cut in half vertically and make 2 average size troughs. No deer is going to poke a hole in poly with a hoof, and I'm sure the kiddie pools cost more than $5.

The scent you leave from having to refill it could cause problems. We have made some small ponds with tarps that have worked out pretty well. I would put a tarp under the pool and dig a hole and it might actually just hold water.

Look for a natural low area and dig out,unless reall sandy it will hold water,I have one that is just in the edge of trees and i can haul 60 gallons to it if needed.Alot of guys on qdma.com build water sources and have some good ideas

Thanks guys!!!!

Barrels
 

Just curious, Where do you buy these barrels.

There was a factory here in town called Re-Con. They cleaned out and reconditioned 55 gallon metal and plastic drums. They probably went through 500+ barrels a day.

You might try a restaurant for a poly drum. Some of their foodstuffs come in those drums.
