    I tried to help out my water hole until it rains (fingers crossed). I put about 360+ gallons of water in it hoping it would last until it rains. I captured the event on trail cam.

    Looking pretty dry

    First buckets of water (made 4 trips total).

    After 2 trips, we finished for the night at 5PM. A deer showed up at 6 PM!

    The deer partied all night there. Got 130 pics including this energetic fawn and this curious buck.

    After the final 2 trips this is what it looked like in the morning.

    Great job man. I hauled water all summer to a kiddie pool. It really drew them in but it's raining now so I've pulled the kiddie pools out.

    Nice job! Do you mix any mineral with the water?
