elk77hunter Report post Posted July 30, 2016 Don't post much but wanted to share this one. Last fall I was tracking my buddies deer up into a thick cut full of mud. Something seemed odd as it hasn't rained so I scraped the mud and water started to flow out of the rocks. After hunting season i went back in and dug a channel and built a rock retention. Immediately I started getting all kinds of activity. Fast forward a year and I have 4-5 bucks visiting so looks like I may be sitting over a homemade spring. Would be really neat to tag a buck in a few weeks. Always fun to take my 3 year old to check the spring and camera. Enjoy the pics. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted July 31, 2016 Nice! I've never thought of that when I see mud in a dry time of year. I made one at my place though. Hose bib drips and I'm too lazy to replace it so I dug a hole and the hose keeps it full. Deer, birds, javelina, rabbits, and dogs are what I've seen drinking there but I have bobcat tracks as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
