Is this deer alive??? Here is the story from another forum .... This deer was found laying on the concrete next to the John Deere Waterloo Factory. The email I got with the pics said it was soaking wet from either sweating or from being in the pond on JD property. My take on it is it was walking across the pond from it being frozen and fell through since it happened Jan. 10. After a long struggle to get out it wondering up by the factory and bedded down from feeling heat, notice the vents in one of the pics. The workers showed up for work and the buck was so exhausted and disorientated it could not get the strength to run away. This is just my opinion and will let everyone know if I hear anything more about it.
