Water hole wildlife behind our home!

  • WNC Wildlife: Critters at the home-made water hole! Bears, bobcats, coyotes, red fox, gray fox, raccoons, hawks, pileated woodpecker, possum, etc. Easy 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 clean the tub once a month and I leave a hose nearby for refilling. After a couple of months, most of the wildlife becomes familiar with the water hole and begins to feel at ease stopping by. Trail cam wildlife videos filmed on a single acre of land behind our home in Hendersonville, NC - / @wildlifebehindourhome

    Amazing, thank you for putting all the effort to build and record this. I can't believe every single kind of animal we have in the forest actually visited your backyard. I live in Arden and I know they are around but to see them using the same trail is absolutely stunning. I just felt sorry for the bear, he really wanted to do a full body soak, but hole was too small :)

    I'm north of you in South Asheville at 3000 ft. Your video inspired me to build a water hole last week. I chose a Rubermaid 30 gallon tub and spent an afternoon digging. Not easy. This morning the tub is completely removed to the side with bite marks from a bear all over it. The tub was full and flush to the ground. The strength that it took is amazing. The motive I'm just unsure.

Was not aware of black bear presence. I agree with everyone else, how lucky you are to have such serene surroundings!
