RE: Swimming deer
 

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

I was hunting a few yrs ago in very cold weather i think it was about 15 degree`s I had two spikes walk right past me and walk to the the stream that i was hunting next to. The bank was about 10-15feet up from the water. the first one jump off that bank and made aloud splash and then swam across to the other side which was about 20-30ft across then the other spike jump in swam across climed out on the other side shook off the water like a dog and walked away the steam comming off there body`s made them look like they were on fire! the cold water did not seam to bother them.But i was about to freez to death:D
