What does your deer camp have that ours don't?

What does your deer camp have that ours don't?

We had a carport put up and we fixed it up for hanging out...






I’d trade it all for a good swimming spot.

I have that windmill and large cistern that looks like a great swimming pool. Did you do anything to the water besides chlorine? shock it like a swimming pool? It does look tempting during the summer

The landowner put one of those floating chlorine tablet holders in it and kept tablets in it at all times. It was always crystal clear. Algae would build on the bottom, but shocking it would probably prevent that! It didn’t bother us as long as you had shoes on.

Edit.... flip flops/sandals, not shoes.

I've always wanted to add a chlorine floater to ours but just never have. It stays clear and there is minimal algae growing on the walls/benches.

How do you keep the algae growth down? We kept a floater in ours, but it still grew on the bottom.

We have a pretty much everything now. It took awhile. It's a simple thing. Just last year we bought one of those$100 office water cooler stands and it's the bomb!
We also just put up a feeder out the dining room window. Makes ya wanna sleep in and watch the news and drink coffee. This was Wednesday afternoon.

There is still some algae growth, we just act like men when in touches us jk/jk

Edit: Being that we allow ours to overflow and fill into a smaller trough the animals can get to, I'm not sure how long the Chlorine tablets would keep and the last thing we're trying to do is add more jobs to keep up with.

Awsome! I'm doing it. Recently bought the place and been looking at that tank all summer. just didn't know the history of the tank or how to make the water safe. Diverted the windmill line to a storage tank for the cabin and overflow back to the tank. The windmill still keeps the tank overflowing.

We had a 5 bedroom barndo with central air and heat, 300 sq ft porch and commercial sized gas stove till relatives burned it to the ground.

Now its more of a camp so the only cool thing we have is our names on the deed

Nice!





We have a big cistern, but it leaks. Anyone tried sealing cracks with success?

[Shane]

Ours has cabins with maid service. Literally. It's awesome.

Those sistern “pools” are awesome. This one is on a friend’s place near Lampasas. Great for cooling off after a dove hunt. Even this time of year the water is nut-shrinking cold

Every time I see those windmill tanks I think of this song.
