Swimming Deer:uhwhat:

[JAKETHESNAKE]

A friend of mine sent me this picture. He said his friend was at a local lake fishing and heard something splashing behind him and when he turned around there he was. I don't know if the story is true or even if it is an Oklahoma deer,but I thought it was a cool pic and wanted to share it. Thanks........

Yes deer can swim and can do it very well. Hogs can too. Cool picture and thanks for sharing.

So can cows. I was fishing in a large pond, and one cow was obviously used to crossing a deep neck. One of her associates followed her, and had a near death experience. She barelymade it to the other side, and could barely get up the bank. We laughed ourselves nearly out of the boat. CB

Deer are great swimmers, ive seen them swim the nav channel not to far from where u live. Illegal to kill one while swimming though.

Cool pic of a really nice buck!

We stay at a lodge on Grand Lake occasionally. There are several nice mounts in the office. The owner said he goes to islands in the lake and hunts them. They have to swim to get there.

Yeah I know of someone else at another lake that does that after the public lands get hit hard.

I've seen deer swim across a cove to get away from coyotes.

We have a home in the Coves on Duck Creek at Grand Lake. To be honest I wish someone would come in there and thin the herds!!! I am told they have before but man they need someone to get in there as they are really to large in numbers. Any takers?

I noticed that last time I was out there. It seemed like almost every house had a couple deer in the yard.
