Illinois Wildlife pond (deer water hole) FOLLOW UP! Did they work!?

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Nice looking watering holes. Funny how curious deer are and how they check out freshly touched soil

[@kapperoutdoors]

I know, right? They are super curious!

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Looks real nice and your eye for grade is getting much better. That is going to be a nice property for deer when it finishes growing the food plots.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes it will be a serious piece of ground after that!! Thanks man, yes, I am getting a little better! Have a good one

[@bobfitch607]

The watering homes worked good cap. Nice job. Them Little duck ponds in the ditch will silt in. Consider them sediment traps👍

[@kapperoutdoors]

lol probably right! But I'll still empty them. that's half the fun watching the water gush out :)

[@bobfitch607]

@@kapperoutdoors I used to put little rubber ducks in them for my operators. Don't know why but they never think that's funny. 😂😂😂

[@larrytremarki9458]

Nice job Kap, watering holes look pretty good.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man appreciate it. Those will make the property pop down the road especially if he adds some nice food plots.

[@houndsmanone4563]

That 2nd water hole came out pretty nice. I'd say ole Kap knows a thing or two about picking out some water hole spots. Surprised the deer came out to check them out so fast. Full-watch.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks bud, I'm always working on gettin better! Them deer are funny and sooo curious. They usually check them out immediately. I ought to start putting cams on the the first few days to see their 'finding' this new thing!! LOL. Take care.

[@houndsmanone4563]

@@kapperoutdoors Agree with the video-cams, Kap. Take it easy and say hey to Mrs K. S/F

[@chetthejet3896]

Hey Joe! Excellent video, no fast forward and the sounds of nature. Watering holes looking good.

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL thanks man.

[@barryhuizing2804]

Love it when a plan comes together!

[@kapperoutdoors]

no doubt! Me too. Thanks.

[@anthonyg6924]

Really nice job! I'm digging a water hole this weekend with tractor and backhoe. I started it couple weeks ago and want to improve upon it. Deer and turkey I've been seeing in it already. Again, great job and thanks 👍🏻

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you and best of luck on your watering projects! So many underestimate their value!! Take care

[@timkelley8775]

Nice job Kapper

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man appreciate it. Now send us some dry weather if you can! :)

[@photocontrol]

Looks good! Got the ditches flowing just right without the laser level!

[@kapperoutdoors]

thanks, getting better at it!

[@nightsong28540]

Very nice, glad it's working out.

[@kapperoutdoors]

me too, thank you.

[@bradbrockhaus633]

I expect an update in a couple of months of how the water holes are being utilized...hope it works out the way you want it to...plus an excellent spot for pics...hope you have a stand near by...God bless

[@kapperoutdoors]

I hope to work with the land owner for some follow up just like that! Thanks and take care

Thanks bud. Hope all is well with your business. Take care

Nice job looks good Napa mike

[@joegomez5807]

Nice turkeys!

[@kapperoutdoors]

yeah I thought a few people might like them. Wish I had a better camera with me though. Take care

[@davidsoloninka7742]

Try sprinkling a bag or two of bentonite clay over the floor of ur ponds then add several bags of leaves: the water logged leaves will sink and together with bent. Clay make a wonderful natural pond liner

[@SheepyHollowCanada]

Looking good... lookin good....

[@kapperoutdoors]

hoorah! Thanks man

[@jonathandaoust2895]

Love how he call the turkeys

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Glad the bucket didn’t spook and run away! 😂🤣😂

[@kapperoutdoors]

I know, that would have sucked if I couldn't have got those close ups!! LMAO

[@showmetheheartland]

Those ditches will fill your water holes up with sediment. In addition, you need sloping banks on your waterholes. Those steep banks will make it difficult for most wildlife to utilize the water source. Could even create a trap for some animals. Particularly fawns.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I always make a ramp at one spot in a small pond. So many have done great over the years.

[@garycrumrine9538]

Cap, I think people are relating to the drum type forestry mulchers.

[@gregorymann2394]

Kap said there very expensive

[@kapperoutdoors]

yes they are cool to watch, but very, very expensive, you need a much bigger machine, and they leave a ton of acidic debris, so getting things to grow is more challenging. There are lots of different ways to do different things. Thanks

[@coryphillips9870]

Awesome Kapper

[@kapperoutdoors]

Roger that, thanks!

[@gmass7238]

Better be planting you garden , with these food prices ...

[@jimmyalamo839]

had a question when you have certain spots of land that are alot greener than others. does that mean the terain is holding the water underground closer to the surface? or is water more capable of gathering and staying there because of the soil?

[@stevenpeters2593]

Mr. Capper why not can you buy this property for lease ? So people can pay you for hunt land ? That’s mine opinion!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Can't afford another investment!! It is a nice piece of ground though for sure.

[@stevenpeters2593]

Kapper Outdoors Mr. Capper I understand this & for me can’t we have real tight $ because we had to fix ours body’s parts lol & keep our touch chat with you guys soon thanks new friends! 🦌🦌🦌🤝

[@davidsoloninka7742]

Have u killed any decent bucks over ur water holes?

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes. And loads of trail cam pics over the years.

[@davidsoloninka7742]

Do u have video of killing bucks over water holes?... if so what is the link? @@kapperoutdoors

[@davidsoloninka7742]

Hi Kapper, Dave again. Sorry man I went to the link u sent and did not find any videos of u harvesting a buck over you water hole (s)??? Respectfully, DS

[@denjhill]

In another day and age these would be called mud puddles.

[@kapperoutdoors]

They're actually not that 'muddy' once they settle in :) And although it looks small, a guy could go swimming in some of them :)
