A fish story...

[stotty]

Caught 1-1/2 miles offshore while Fishing!

What is that?! Look in the middle.

Can it be, really!!! Look 1/3 down.

It?s a DEER!!! Son of a gun !!

Not too much of a struggle? Poor guy !

He was very glad to be on board. No doubt !!

He was sooo tired and was glad to get into our boat and rest!





And yes, they turned him loose when they got back to shore. Just try beating this Fish Story!

suprisingly, its not as unusual as it seems, sometimes also happens when they get stuck out on the ice and then it melts.

true my friend has a house on a pretty big pond and he the president of there little place pays him money to get dead deer off the ice
its amazing though that the dear would be out that far

A deers hair is hollow. They float like a cork. It happens all the time on lake erie. they are actually rather good swimmers because of their coat acts like a lifejacket. Under 5 miles they should beable to make it back on their own as long as you point them in the right direction. I have seen 2 deer, and a cyote so far swimming a couple miles off shore.
