.....to make me a bigger water hole. It's roughly 18' x 18' and about 6 ft deep in the middle......If I use 4ft as an average depth then that gives you roughly 10,000 gallons of water that its holding. It filled up with over a foot of ground water before the rain ever started......That kinda messed me up a little from being able to dig it out as much as I wanted to....need an excavator. It sho nuff filled it up last night though. I'm gonna take and put about 4 trace mineral blocks just up the hill from it so it will wash down into it......the deer love that type of set-up.....Hopefully this will provide me with a place to water a few cows too when I get them next sprig. There's a perfect limb for a rope swing over it too coming off the hill in the back.....I believe its plenty deep enough.....You're just gonna need time your release correctly....
