We are building cement water tanks at several sites around the ranch.
It's a deer hunting ranch in Lion country.
Would it be better to build the tanks in heavy cover or out in the open?
Where are the lions least successful?

Don't give the lion cover to sneak up on them. So I would say open and far enough from thick cover to give them time to react. Lions have a very fast leap and run for 20-30 yards then run out of gas.

They will still get them coming and going from the water... if there are alot of lions I would think you could get people to pay to hunt those too.

Thanks Tom, That's what I thought.
The whole idea is to get deer water but a dead deer can't drink...
