Deer in Distress






Some recent guests were fishing on Indian Lake when they saw a strange sight. A deer was swimming across a large expanse of water which was about 100 feet deep. It surprised Scott Skrzypcak and his son Tyler who happened to have a camera on hand to record the event.
You can see the progression of the tale in the series of pictures above.
In the first picture you see Tyler on the right watching the deer crossing the lake. In the second picture, the deer is nearing land, but unfortunately, it is a rock wall. They are wondering how he is ever going to get out of the lake. In the third picture, in the center of the picture, you can see some splashing. He is trying hard to get up on the rocks and onto higher ground. In the fourth picture, he finally made it up out of the water and to safety. They figured there must have been some wolves after it to make it flee in such a way. It is quite unusual to even see deer around here, because we tend to have a higher Moose population in this area. What an interesting experience to add to the fishing fun.
