If we don't get some rain a watering hole will be a good place to hunt this fall, has any body ever used this tactic

Been over a month for us. I hunt waterholes and use a double bull blind to get it done. At least until the heat breaks. Then i go to more traditional methods.

Had a friend of mine hunt a waterhole last bow season.I saw the spot after the season,looked like everyanimal for miles visited it! The hole is dry this year though.

Due to the severe drought conditions so far this summer in S.E. Idaho, I think this will be banner year for bow killed antelope. Stay long enoughon a secluded water hole, and at least a decent buck should be there for the taking. Throw in adecoy, shouldn't be to difficult.

I did it last year for about 2 weeks till rain finally came. In mid-august I found a spot on a 1 1/2 mile stretch of a creek that still had a little water, it was so stagnant it was almost black, but the bank was tore up around it. I filled in the stagnant hole and dug one of my own about 10yds away a little deeper. The little bit of water that was underground mad about 4 inches in the bottom of the new hole and was much cleaner. Opening day saw 5 does, 2 bucks, 2 fawns,1 fox, 5 coons and a stray dog all drink from it within about an hour. It works, just have to try for yourself. (I didnt plan on hunting the water hole, I just didnt want the deer to move off and find a new source. This experience happened because of little rain for a month or so and LOTS of luck)
