Idea for Cool Set

[gil1]

Usually I don't do this until late in the summer, but the drought is already on. With temperatures in the triple digits, now is a good time for water sets. The best place is where there's only a small amount of water left, thus concentrating deer.

I usually just wade out a few feet and shove an old board into the mud. Then, duct tape a perpendicular piece of wood on it making a cross. Just wrap the trail camera strap or cable around the cross to mount. The reason I don't screw in or nail the second piece of wood is that the water depth may change from set to set, and I want to be able to adjust height.

Another good time for water sets is during the rut when all the chasing makes the deer thirsty. Have fun!

You must be reading my mind ..in the hollers ,near a spring or secluded area will bring them in.
Just a small puddle will surprise you.
