RE: Swimming Deer, ever see a Deer Swim?
I've been fishing(trolling) out on Lake Superior and have seen a buck swiming to an Island. The Island was over a mile from shore and the buck was at least half way. Its amazing they can swim with those little hooves. An interesting side note - the deer on the island are now eating some of the native plants to extiniction. The Park Service has a speccial gun hunt to try to reduce the herd size. Canadian Yew is like candy to those deer.
