These guys rescued a deer that was swimming 1 and a half miles from the shore. What on earth was a deer doing out there?? They think he was swimming all night.

At first they mistook it for a seal and wondered what a seal was doing out that way, after watching it for a time they recognized it for what it was and the deer made a beeline for the boat, presuming it was a bit of land. Once it got close and recognized there was humans there it shied away. But one of the men tossed a lasso on him and reeled him in the boat where the deer collapsed from exhaustion.

They made for the shore and deposited the deer there, with a promise to come see him on “opening day” .
