Watering Holes

Water is the source of life. By adding permanent watering holes to your property you will allow your property to hold more deer, turkey and other wildlife than it otherwise would have. Some states even pay for you, as a landowner, to dig watering holes, also called ‘wildlife scrapes.’ When we owned a piece of land in Southern Missouri we worked with the conservation department and added 3 new watering holes and 3 new clearings, which were almost all paid for by the Conservation Department! You can’t beat that folks, now that one was a win-win. However, most states don’t do this, but it is still well worth your money to have someone come and make a new watering hole or two on your property if you do not have any year round water sources for the wildlife. Check out some of the watering hole projects on YouTube that we’ve done and how they’ve worked out. Click on the image to watch!
