Agree some what, last year I hunted a water source on two different properties and killed at both. I was enroute from a food plot to the water source so I guessed best I could that deer would be using that area to travel to the pond. It was the does using it and during the rut the does bought in the bucks. I was not set up close to the pond but around 100 yards away. The other property I was 10 yards off the pond and first light a doe came with a eight point behind her. Watched the doe drink and the buck stood 5 yards from me watching her, since this was a urban deer zone he was harvested.

Water holes if utilized and placed when none exist can yield some of the best hunting some can imagine!

My property is a dry desert and all sand, i put a gutter on my blind and ran it downhill 40 yards to a shady tree where I buried a round shallow-sided 9 gal plastic water hole. I check it rarely but every time it has a few inches in it, and being under a small pine keeps the sun out for the most part hopefully to avoid evaporation.

Tip. If your going to put in natural water sources make sure to make big and deep enough to not just make a mud hole which turn's into a EHD factory. (You can actually do more harm than good in some cases.) If I couldn't put in a decent size pond I believe I would use a livestock water tank as a much better alternative.
