it is here in florida and it probably is in ever state it takes any advantage the deer had away from it. i use to work on a boat and sometimes we`d see deer swimming across the pass which is a shipping channel its saltwater and probably close to 300-500 yards across and the deer would swim the whole way across and sometimes they would pick a bad time and a tourist on a wave runner would see them ive seen them just about drown a deer before circling it on a waverunner so they could "watch it swim" the deer diddent know what to do but we went over and told them what we thought of them and got them away from the deer the poor thing looked exhausted
