Water hole wildlife behind our home in Hendersonville, NC. (2020-21)

  • Wildlife water hole! Simple to set up - I went to Tractor Supply and purchased a 15 gallon water tub used typically for farm animals. Then I dug a hole alongside a wildlife trail behind our home, filled the tub with water, planted a few ferns and positioned a trail camera above the site. I use a sponge and bucket to empty and clean the tub and I leave a hose nearby for refilling. After a few months, most of the wildlife becomes familiar with the water hole and begins to feel at ease stopping by. / All my trail cam wildlife videos are filmed on a single acre of land behind our home within a subdivision consisting of hundreds of other homes in Hendersonville, NC. - / @wildlifebehindourhome

    There’s a couple of acres of woods behind my yard in Carthage NC and I was thinking of sinking a water hole like yours on the edge to help the animals. I have seen deer, rabbits, birds and squirrels -nothing as exotic as you have. But who knows what may show up if I build it! Thanks again for sharing your wildlife with us.

    The coyote (coywolf?) decided to mark the waterhole as his at 8:57. The fox sniffed all the stones around the edge, but chose to ignore the big one with the annoying scent. But the deer certainly noticed that very stone! Bobcat Squirrel-killa was oblivious to the coystone and the raccoons couldn’t have cared less…

    After seeing this video I built this same water hole. I"m 20 minutes north up high in Asheville. My tub might have been larger. After three days a bear came and ripped the entire tub out while it was full. Their strength is remarkable. He also filled it full of holes. I may try again this year.
