Spent the weekend at Lake McConaghy (a massive lake in western Nebraska with nicer white sand than Cancun).
About 100 yards down the beach\shoreline, a young deer is coming down to the lake for a drink. After getting a couple of sips of water, the deer walks out into the lake.....and continues until the point that he's swimming.
Keep in mind, this baby is about 2 miles across where we were. This thing isn't just swimming, he's really moving-and in a beeline for the opposing shore.
I guess it's actually quite common-but it never occured to me that a deer could POSSIBLY swim with their skinny legs & feet that aren't exactly the best for swimming.
We were in total shock watching it......that it was a suicide mission for sure. I've never seen anything like it before in my life!!
That's my "WTF?" story for the weekend :toast:
