  • dwg3333, on 04/14/2008, -16/+350What? GTF outta here!
    • sickswaystop, on 04/14/2008, -4/+54I'll need to see more than a photo sequence to believe this one
      • H0tKarl, on 04/14/2008, -4/+116It's more believable if you start at the bottom photo and work your way up.
      • 3HackBug77, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3Yeah... seeing a picture of a deer in water and boat doesn't really do it to convince me that it swam to them.
        • qwerty2159, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1who said it swam to them? lots of boats come with engines
      • davidg11, on 04/14/2008, -1/+36Um people, haven't any of you heard of deer living on islands (fresh water and salt water)? Islands not connected to the mainland by bridge? How exactly did you think they got there? Magic?
        • portis, on 04/14/2008, -3/+52They got there by boat! Fool!
          • andyduncan, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6For photographic evidence of deer migrating by boat, see above linked photo set.
        • Nesh, on 04/14/2008, -7/+9Well clearly, god willed them to be there, and they were.
        • griz, on 04/14/2008, -0/+9Are you implying that deer migrate?
          • zackkitzmiller, on 04/14/2008, -0/+15An African deer maybe, but not a European deer.. that's my point.
          • cawpin, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Do the islands have coconuts?
          • Gir53457, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2In Maryland? Well, if you count the tourists wearing Hawaiian shirts.
        • BOFH2, on 04/14/2008, -7/+2Evolution? I mean it is just as likely as the "God willed them there" comment

          Migration is not probably the answer it was probably due to a predator attack. We saw this all the time on Leech Lake in MN - Of course there it was mostly when the lake was frozen but same idea.
          • hipnerd, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Yep. Scared deer runs from bobcat, jumps in lake. Happens all the time. This guy ends up in the ocean, tide or current sweeps him out to sea and there you go.

            It's unusual, but not something that makes me think "fake!"
      • rompom7, on 04/14/2008, -1/+17Believe it. http://www.snopes.com/photos/hunting/deerfish.asp

        *ugh* I should really learn to scroll down before posting links... Never mind.
      • madskjaer, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Deer can swim...
        • lyphstylz, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1...very well. They have hollow hair that keeps them insulated and afloat.
      • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Deer saved from icy lake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0EHuD8Q-0Q
    • robocop1, on 04/14/2008, -7/+41WTFOMGBBQ
    • Picaroon, on 04/14/2008, -10/+4-> WTF GTFO!
    • Zera, on 04/14/2008, -0/+73It's true, and almost a year old email forward already:
      http://www.snopes.com/photos/hunting/deerfish.asp
      • anagoge, on 04/14/2008, -4/+11""Too weak to stand, he just sat there quivering. We picked him up again and put his feet underneath him, but he still couldn't walk or stand. We left him sitting there looking at us."

        After all the effort of rescuing it, why on earth wouldn't you make sure it was ok and actually take it to the nearest wildlife sanctuary or vet?
        • remccain, on 04/14/2008, -8/+5er, because the vet usually charges to examine animals and uh, those fish aren't exactly going to jump in the boat now, are they? BTW, anyone interested in some deer/pork sausage? I, uh, seem to have acquired some recently...
        • carl0ski, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4In australia Vets are required to examine native animals bought in by the public

          Besides many Vets do love animals and would have taken care of the animal pro rata
          • Gir53457, on 04/14/2008, -1/+26This is a pest control problem because in America we have a bit of a problem of overpopulating deer encroaching upon lobster territory.
          • form3hide, on 04/14/2008, -14/+4In America, we have a human overpopulating problem.
          • anatraj, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1for future reference: pro bono not pro rata
        • Chahrlie5, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3It would have become road kills anyways. There are loads of deer around the roads here, it's lucky they fished it out.
      • paulmike3, on 04/14/2008, -6/+3So just cause they tell their story to the Maryland Gazette, Snopes take is as fact? Snopes just lost credibility in my book...
      • skarbreeze, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1Yep, buried as a duplicate story - I thought it was interesting for a good 8-10seconds when my kid brother emailed it to me last year. This seriously makes top10? Please...
    • moofer, on 04/14/2008, -5/+10how in the hell did he get that thing in the boat? I can't believe it went willingly.
      • Stevo23, on 04/14/2008, -2/+30If it's a ***** mile off shore, you better believe it would willingly get in a boat rather than drown. It was probably totally freaked out.
        • ricree, on 04/14/2008, -0/+17According to the Snopes article, it was extremely exhausted and was only barely able to stay above water.
        • thelock65, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Apparently they lassoed it.
      • jonohull, on 04/14/2008, -0/+17It was too tired to do anything about it.
      • davidg11, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5It's called shock.
    • Vektuz, on 04/14/2008, -7/+26Its much more believable if you look at the sequence from bottom to top.
      • CanadaMan87, on 04/14/2008, -0/+27but then it's sad :(
        • laguano, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2I know, but i like the warm feeling the other direction give me.
      • solidcube, on 04/14/2008, -14/+2it's not sad, it's lol
        • ICSU, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Your face is lol. This'd be sad.
          • remccain, on 04/14/2008, -11/+1yo momma's face is lol ;P
            snap! oh yeah, bitch slapped from the 80's.
    • EvolvedAnt, on 04/14/2008, -1/+17I'm not surprised by this. Deer swim across the Hudson river to get from New Jersey to Staten Island where I live. Of course they didn't start doing that until the housing market boom, which spurred mass over development in New Jersey.
      • Ultramagnus0001, on 04/14/2008, -3/+2New Jersey! Uuugghh Why would the deers swim there? They wanna get hit by the "Jersey Spurts" (drivers who can't maintain speed).
        • ahale97, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6"Deer swim across the Hudson river to get from New Jersey to Staten Island where I live."
          "across the Hudson river to get from New Jersey to Staten Island"
          "from New Jersey to Staten Island"
          "from"
        • usherzx, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2ultramagnus... durrrr
    • specialK16, on 04/14/2008, -1/+22GET OUTTA HERE!
      *pushes Jerry to the ground.
      • driftwood07, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1umm its just GET OUT!
        *pushes Jerry to the ground
    • Lust4Me, on 04/14/2008, -2/+14Doah! A deer. A female deer!
    • Nexiec, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1I remember my first deer.
    • KidDirty, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2The same thing happened to a friend of mine here in NC. The deer most likely was trying to swim between two barrier islands but did it on an outgoing tide and just got swept out to sea.
  • cybrspin, on 04/14/2008, -7/+613ok thats was one of the last things i was expecting to see!!
    • xXKobaXx, on 04/14/2008, -35/+8Really, I would think one of the last things you would be expecting to see fishing would be an elephant, or a dinosaur... Deer do swim, it is strange to see one that far out though. Just saying, you COULD see crazier things in the water...
      • Quakee, on 04/14/2008, -3/+44Was that reply really necessary? No one makes a mental checklist of the billion ***** possibilities of ***** that could have been fished out. Wtf is wrong with you?
        • Gir53457, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Didn't anyone ever see that episode of Johnny Bravo where he dates a deer?
        • Chachuka, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Yeah! :-)
        • xXKobaXx, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1First comment was a joke, that should have been clear (hence DINOSAUR...). The second was serious. Take a chill pill, read things over. Nothing wrong with just me, but we're clearly both retards for arguing over something so dumb on the internet...
      • javip, on 04/14/2008, -1/+8besides.. he said ONE of the last things..
        what a clown
      • moofer, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2DOODY!!!!
    • OrangeSoda31, on 04/14/2008, -13/+2I was expecting something like goatse, not sure why.
      • moofer, on 04/14/2008, -0/+14okay, now replace "expecting" with "hoping for"
      • DarkSamus, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3goatse doesn't swim
        • Dubbsacc, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1But it's like an upside down cup, it can float until it tilts to the side, then it might start to go under...


          ... Too far?
        • MacEnvy, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Course not, he can't stay afloat with that big hole in the hull.
    • temporaryescape, on 04/14/2008, -17/+1like a good vagina, i saw it coming
    • lex0nyc, on 04/14/2008, -3/+7Really? You must not have been paying attention to DIGG a few weeks ago when this first came through...
      • AntzNZ, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5weeks? I saw it atleast last year on digg.
    • chris1012, on 04/14/2008, -3/+2it makes me so happy to see that bambi is still alive after all of these years. :')
      • Gir53457, on 04/14/2008, -3/+5Well too bad. I shot him and ate him.. And he was delicious.
    • PoopOnPaul, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Almost like finding...a polar bear on an island in the south Pacific?
    • wicketr, on 04/14/2008, -4/+15I was expecting a mexican
    • eddosa, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2OH, DEAR!!!
    • grimlenn, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Why? The animals will have to adapt eventually to not having any land - its only a matter of time untill they grow fins! evolution is amazing, no?
  • Asriel86, on 04/14/2008, -4/+406The idea of getting a deer from the water into a boat gives me a headache. I'd rather see photos of that process.
    • chrisaug18, on 04/14/2008, -2/+42It probably took both of them trying really hard to lift it in...thus no time for pictures
    • displacednomad, on 04/14/2008, -17/+9Yeah. How else are we to know how things went down that day? How do we know that the men didn't take the deer out there and dump it, and the image-maker put the images in reverse for us to see?
      • bemidia, on 04/14/2008, -3/+5Jeez... You're paranoid.
      • LostRiot, on 04/14/2008, -4/+4man the idea of dumping a dear at sea is both hilarious and cruel in the extreme!
    • NoStoppingUs, on 04/14/2008, -9/+89actually, they just threw him INTO the water, and then took pictures.

      :(
    • ManuS, on 04/14/2008, -0/+41"Since the fish weren't biting, we thought we'd give it a hand. Bo grew up around cows, was really handy with a bow line and lasooed the deer on the first attempt."
      They got it close, Bo grabbed the neck, Chad got a good hold on a flank and "we barreled over backwards to the deck -- and before we knew it, Bo was on top of the buck in velvet and had him hog tied like a calf."
      Chad, said they feared the deer was going to "kick the hell out of us in a 22-foot center console boat," but they were lucky, it was too exhausted to resist, "We hit the gas and ran him to the closest beach, Kent Point, where I beached the boat and we carefully unloaded our catch on the sand. We untied him and jumped back.
      "Too weak to stand, he just sat there quivering. We picked him up again and put his feet underneath him, but he still couldn't walk or stand. We left him sitting there looking at us. Before we left, I looked him in the eye and said 'See you on opening day; payback time.'
      "We don't know whether he made it or not, but we do know his chances were vastly improved for survival than when we first saw him."

      • illegalcortex, on 04/14/2008, -5/+9'See you on opening day; payback time.'

        Dear lord. I hope he never rescues a HUMAN swimmer...
        • calamnet, on 04/14/2008, -4/+15Because of Opening Day Human Season right? Did you think that one through before commenting?
          • illegalcortex, on 04/14/2008, -1/+12Next you'll be telling me I'm not allowed to tell that "a grasshopper walks into a bar" joke because grasshoppers do not patronize pubs.
          • calamnet, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1No, see.....that might actually contain some humor in it. DIVULGE THIS GRASSHOPPER MATERIAL!

        (FIX YOUR MISTAKES, LAZY DIGG PROGRAMMERS!)
      • capotesan, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1They better be glad it was too weak to stand. ***** off deer are no joke, and I can't imagine it was real grateful about being hauled into a fishing boat.
    • buddhistMonkey, on 04/14/2008, -0/+18That deer is darned lucky that it happened upon a fisherman who also happens to be a lasso-trained cowboy. That's some pretty long odds right there.
    • gstep, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2When I first saw that picture of the deer in the boat I was like, "Man, I can't believe that deer isn't freaking out and kicking them." Then I saw the rope on his legs. But still, those things are strong and wild, tying it up without getting hurt would be tough. Hats off to the cowboy at sea.
      • grimlenn, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1It was 1.5 miles off the fukin coast, its not really going to be able to put up much of a fight...
      • JDL917, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Yea, the deer was most likely way to tired to do anything. The ropes really aren't even necessary. it would probably just lay still without them. If the deer actually had the energy, if would still be thrashing around with the ropes on.
  • blinker265, on 04/14/2008, -15/+291i thought it was going to be a picture of a HUGE shark or something...not a deer.. i didnt even know that deer could swim
    • mphree, on 04/14/2008, -18/+7I would think the lack of appendages would make sure they couldnt swim. I don't see how they could swim with hoofs. (sp?) Granted that I am not really sure what I'm talking about, I just think that the lack of anything really large on their feet would work against them because they couldnt push water.
      • TobiasParker, on 04/14/2008, -11/+24you are ***** retarded. Buffalo, Deer, Horses all swim. Just because they don't swim like people...doesn't mean they can't.
        • Chaulis, on 04/14/2008, -4/+9So I read the first 4 words and thought "Good someone else has already pointed out that deer do have appendages", but I was disappointed when you didn't point out that legs == appendages. Both of you(TobiasParker, mphree) are pretty damn stupid to have missed that one.
          • FarvaRadio, on 04/14/2008, -2/+0Or they thought it was soo stupid to even dignify with a response?
        • quisph, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2Was it really necessary to be so abusive? Did mphree ***** your wife or something? Lighten up.
        • mphree, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1Yeah. And one other thing, I pointed out that I understand I have no idea what I am talking about. That's more than 95%of digg users would do.
      • Gemfinder, on 04/14/2008, -1/+11Deers' hooves are split into four fused toes. Between the two main ones that they walk on, there's a membrane that spreads out a little, like a half-inch. Not as much as caribou's hooves, which spread further (caribou are the swimming champions of the deer race), but yeah, they do have limited webbing between their toes.
        Surprised? Did you know sea lions and bears are related?
        • skyroket, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Sea lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
        • mphree, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2Thank you for not being a *****, like everyone else on this website.
    • J3EBS, on 04/14/2008, -1/+19"Upon closer inspection, finding that this strange breed of swimming deer did not have scales or even gills, they threw it back into the lake and continued the search for tuna and other similar edible fish."
    • Gemfinder, on 04/14/2008, -1/+11Deer are very good swimmers. Key deer are called that because they regularly swim from island to island. Northern deer do it as well. Just ask wildlife biologists around the Great Lake states and Wisconsin.
      That looks like a yearling buck. He was probably hitting the waves to look for new digs after Mom, Auntie, Dad and Uncle kicked him out.
      • yacks, on 04/14/2008, -1/+13Found off the coast of Bel Air?
        • Dubbsacc, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4He said to the fisherman
          "Yo holmes to bel air"
      • skyroket, on 04/14/2008, -5/+1Please don't say "digs" anymore, in reference to housing. That's just an epic fail of the human species. We don't need to go back there.
    • Sananda, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8Even elephants can swim.
    • pbaehr, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Most mammals can swim instinctively. I say "most" instead of "all" because I'm not so sure about something like a bat. It seems like the wings would make it difficult.
      • CedEx, on 04/14/2008, -5/+2You mean like whales and dolphins?
        • CedEx, on 04/14/2008, -2/+1Why am I getting buried? Whales and dolphins are mammals, and they swim instinctively. Nothing wrong there! Or was it too obvious?
      • zookee, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2While watching the BBC Planet Earth series I saw many sea creatures with wings, and ocean birds that dive up to 10 meters to snag fish. So wings don't necessarily prevent swimming.
    • hasoon87, on 04/14/2008, -7/+3comment dugg for the correct use of the plural of deer
      • skyroket, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5Comment dugg for the ability to type on a keyboard.... the plural of deer is much too easy to get an entire comment dedicated to why they dugg it.
    • designer, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Animals are much more resilient than we give them credit for. We like to believe that nature is so fragile. It makes us feel good.
      • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Resilient? The deer was probably minutes from death and had to be saved by fishermen.
  • longcat99, on 04/14/2008, -30/+218i hope they didn't eat it for dinner :'(
    • Globalsupremacy, on 04/14/2008, -10/+2touche` gore.....
    • schroeder, on 04/14/2008, -7/+58Yeah, all that salt water would probably make it taste terrible.
    • temporaryescape, on 04/14/2008, -5/+29seriously. save it for breakfast.
    • Anthropoid, on 04/14/2008, -4/+32Apparently, they left it alone on a beach, too weak to move and probably dehydrated, after threatening to kill it once hunting season opens.
      :(
      http://www.snopes.com/photos/hunting/deerfish.asp
      • topace3000, on 04/14/2008, -1/+17I'd consider it a good deal for the deer overall.
      • Myonosken, on 04/14/2008, -3/+13Man, they should have made it their pet. And trained it to to fight back against deer hunters.
    • br0wnstar, on 04/14/2008, -2/+7Deer is a natural aphrodisiac (Dwight).
    • tim620, on 04/14/2008, -6/+8If it wasn't illegal to kill a deer without a tag, I would eat it for dinner. Deer is tasty. I love deer meat.
    • roho76, on 04/14/2008, -0/+9Could you imagine the look o his wife's face if he brought it home. "I thought you were going fishing?"
      • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Bob suddenly realizes his wife is not going to believe the fishing story and is going to be checking his pant pockets and credit card transations for a few months at least for signs he has another wife and kids somewhere.
    • HypocriteDigg, on 04/14/2008, -8/+5I'm surprised they didn't kill it before taking the picture with it. Hunters are ***** pussies.
    • PenguinPunk06, on 04/14/2008, -3/+1Eat the bitch!!!
    • jabberwolf, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3Wouldnt that be brined Venison ?
    • SteveHamn, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1No. That's a catch and release lake, they let him go back in the water.
  • mark076h, on 04/14/2008, -3/+53yeah when i first saw this i thought it was a joke then i read a bunch of stuff about how deer, moose, bison and all that are known to swim long distances across rivers and out to islands.
    • Joshuarr, on 04/14/2008, -1/+137When I was a kid we we visited Yellowstone and watched a moose swim across a lake - it took about an hour to go a mile or so. (I'm telling you guys about this cause I don't have any friends.)
      • 1randomguyO8, on 04/14/2008, -1/+82We're your friends
        • makkaveli19, on 04/14/2008, -0/+57*group hug*
          • affanjam, on 04/14/2008, -1/+39stop touching his butt
          • H0tKarl, on 04/14/2008, -2/+33You can still touch mine though.
          • kutateli, on 04/14/2008, -0/+29Why won't anyone touch mine? Even my digg friends hate me :(
          • riskybeats, on 04/14/2008, -0/+27Haha look at all those guys hugging! Haha..ha...... . . . .. .. Why wasn't I invited :(
          • jake8689, on 04/14/2008, -4/+3embrace

          • Kazanoe, on 04/14/2008, -2/+4I sense jealousy within you, robo...hoe.
        • Joshuarr, on 04/14/2008, -0/+34Neat! I finally have internet friends!!! Do any of you guys know any hot girls?
          • yojiffyskippy, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7Good one!
          • Tiggums, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Well there aren't any on the internets
          • Arcesius, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Okay, you're going on my friends list.

            And let me know if you find any hots girls, btw.
          • SpeakerCity, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Pizzler
        • Bonez, on 04/14/2008, -4/+2I'm not your Fwend buddy!
        • axelstudios, on 04/14/2008, -2/+4I'm not your buddy, guy!
      • redstorm986, on 04/14/2008, -3/+9I was going to take a shot at you but it was just too easy.
        • Joshuarr, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8That's why I didn't shoot that moose.
    • NoStoppingUs, on 04/14/2008, -2/+39whenever i have sucky stories, i follow them with "and then i found 20 bucks", and it makes the story all the better.
      • aceakm, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11Tell me the story where you found 20 bucks!
        • OrangeSoda31, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Well... he was watching a moose...
        • riskybeats, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4I smell a clean 20 dollar profit in this story. Plus delicious moose.
        • paraforce, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2"I smell a clean 20 dollar profit in this story."
          Well, unless it's a poo-dollar.
    • Catballs, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2It's a cool thought, but it's really perplexing to me.. I mean, all those animals that you listed are of GREAT weight and.. well.. hooved.

      How in the **** does a hooved animal at that kind of weight manage to swim like that? That has to be a ton of work.
      • xaxxon, on 04/14/2008, -0/+9It's because they just about float without doing anything. They don't have to do much to stay above water. No one is saying they swim FAST or anything.
      • dfdub, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8Big animals are much stronger than you silly humans. They also have big lungs (buoyancy).
      • B3000, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4A lot of that weight is fatty tissue. Fat floats.
      • Daggith, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Elephants are great swimmers. According to wikipedia they have been known to swim "for up to 6 hours and 50 km (30 miles)."
    • LadyDub, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6The deer was *****. He was only 2 miles away from being reunited with his family and now he has to start all over again. See that look in his eyes? That's not fear and exhaustion, it's hate.
    • moonlessrat, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2There is a story here in Scandinavia about a moose which swam from Sweden to Denmark. That's around an 18km swim if you set out from where I live. Denmark doesn't have a moose population making this a front page event.
      They even went out and brought a bunch of those moose street sign's to celebrate and started putting them up....and here is where the story gets a little wobbly. One version sais the moose was hit by a train, the other sais it swam back to Sweden after a week or so. Personally I prefer the one where it checked out Denmark, wasn't impressed and buggered off again =). Perhaps some entrepreneur can take the time to google the full story hehe.
  • Beanstudd2, on 04/14/2008, -2/+40Is there any background information or story on this?
  • mark076h, on 04/14/2008, -24/+13the more i look at it i wonder if it is a joke, they captured the poor thing, tied it up and then threw it in the water and the first few pictures are of the boat pulling away?
    • chrisaug18, on 04/14/2008, -3/+11Interesting theory...just look at the pictures in reverse order and its a really sick joke
      • bizkit00, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5yes especially since they left the cameraman in the water
    • SirSmash, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Nope, not a joke... if it was then the boat in the first two pictures would have to be going in reverse.
      • statstudent, on 04/14/2008, -3/+0because it is clearly impossible to pull a boat around in a circle or change picture order
        • Twili, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Okay. Boat lesson time.
          When a boat moves through water it leaves something called "wake." If the people had just tossed the deer off and were now moving AWAY from the deer, the deer would be IN THE BOAT'S WAKE.

          There is no wake here in the first few pictures. Only waves that you can clearly see everywhere else.
          Congratulations, you fail.
          • EtherGnat, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1...because wake never dissipates.
  • amanilaenvelope, on 04/14/2008, -16/+292"Ok alan the day a DEER comes swiming along to our boat, i will change my sex"
    *5 minutes later
    "get the ***** out"
    • shondell, on 04/14/2008, -35/+3"oh yea look there alan, a DEER! what are the chances? now you have to change your sex. it's like a bad joke or something"
      • septicmadman, on 04/14/2008, -3/+25***** you
      • MarkOfTheDead, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11Do you always patronize good jokes?
      • kutateli, on 04/14/2008, -1/+14Wow you just HAD to be that guy, didn't you? Bastard.
    • brodieface, on 04/14/2008, -6/+2Say hello to Mrs Alan!
    • onionlayer, on 04/14/2008, -1/+17Damn, the first time I see my name used on digg it has to be a sex change joke.
  • billllyboobs34, on 04/14/2008, -22/+248Must be all that global warming... no place left for deer
    • Wilsomatic, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9We didn't listen?
      • xaxxon, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3"pretend for a moment that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on."
        "You never studied."
        • pcghost, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1So be good, for goodness sake. Whoooaoh sombody's coming.

          That was a great flick, but still < Stripes overall.
      • Mpwns, on 04/14/2008, -3/+1listen to what? only way to stop gobal warming is to kill off humans by about 30-35 percent. almost 9 billion strong and growing really fast and medicine is making us live longer.
        • jessethouin, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1If the belief in global warming continues without true scientific study, then I volunteer to be the first to go.
      • wordglue, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2We didn't listeennnnn!!
    • tim620, on 04/14/2008, -8/+1More like over-urbanization drove the deer out. (not that global warming isn't a problem).
      • Jist, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2It was a joke, buddy.
      • MightyBob, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2Remember kids, everytime you chop down a tree, a deer drowns itself in a lake.
        • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Throw in a crying Indian and you have an eco-PSA.
      • kaeosmom, on 04/14/2008, -1/+0Totally, with the shrinking forests due to deforestation because of over-urbanization the deer needs to look for more food/shelter.
    • edctj, on 04/14/2008, -6/+9global warming isn't happening
      • silentboom, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4I agree with you, pollution is a problem. The earth's temperature is overwhelmingly controlled by the sun. Water vapor in the air has a small effect and carbon dioxide almost none. Al Gore is guilty of "ecological" terrorism. But why should that be a suprise his wife tipper was the head of the PMRC in the 80's that tried to get certain type of music outlawed.
  • staraligned, on 04/14/2008, -14/+40Yah but what will his wife say when she hears he was out boating with "Bambi"?
    DUGG.
    • petershultz, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9I think he'd be more like: Hey hun, I just found a ***** deer in the water.
    • 032483, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1This isn't 1987....No one is named bambi anymore.
      • B3000, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4So all those people named Bambi from 1987 have just... died off?
        • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1No, they changed their names to Apple and Rain and moved to California so they would blend in.
  • Time4SumWupAzz, on 04/14/2008, -3/+12Wow that is just amazing. Glad someone was there to the rescue.
    • zelah, on 04/14/2008, -2/+4I don't know for sure that it was rescued so much as probably killed.
      • jmpeagle, on 04/14/2008, -11/+5it was left on a beach and allowed nature to take its course. It was too weak to stand when they left it but it probably just needed rest or maybe it just starved and died to death on the beach.

        Saving the deer however was an affront to nature. Rescuing animals that nature would have killed anyways is more human arrogance at controlling the planet's species just like the endangered species act.
        • louiedog, on 04/14/2008, -2/+6huh? i guess prenatal medicine is also an affront to nature. maybe we shouldn't make nylon anymore or drive cars or do anything that nature didn't intend. moron.
        • rdhazrd, on 04/14/2008, -0/+12Hmmmm... "died to death"???
        • toytoyota, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3Next time you're drowning we will definitely let nature run its course. Unless you admit you are wrong.
    • atonement, on 04/14/2008, -8/+1Deer=Large rat. Dirty, diseased, and apparently very adept at swimming? Useless.
      • nbcaffeine, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6One difference... Deer is delicious.
        • tim620, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1Amen! Yes they are!
        • djpants428, on 04/14/2008, -3/+6Are you absolutely sure that rat isn't delicious? Have you tried it?
          • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Let's just say it doesn't taste like chicken.
  • Remccs, on 04/14/2008, -15/+16holy *****, they better not eat that poor guy
    • temporaryescape, on 04/14/2008, -0/+35yeah, that would be disgusting. just settle for the deer.
  • radarplane, on 04/14/2008, -5/+18I was fishing in Canada a few years ago and saw a deer swimming across the lake. Me and my friend were amazed, but the guide said he had seen it a few times. I didn't even think about chasing it. I have a photo, let's see if I can find it.
  • MrMetal, on 04/14/2008, -19/+5IT'S A HAX!!!
  • carguy25, on 04/14/2008, -17/+3They caught Bambi? Must of been a bear getting her in the boat!
    • willynilly, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4"Must of"?
      • EpicSelekta, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3It works phonetically but I think he mean "must have"
        • EtherGnat, on 04/14/2008, -2/+1That's obviously what it should of been.
        • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1No, must of is a common term used in parts of the US and the UK.
  • DMTZ, on 04/14/2008, -4/+36Catch and release...
  • iBenzin, on 04/14/2008, -7/+165oh snap!

    they evolved
    • brodieface, on 04/14/2008, -4/+3I was doing some leisurely data collection on the moon the other day (rock samples, etc.). Guess what I saw? A freakin' deer in outer space! Yes, my good man, they have evolved.
    • Jashobeam5, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Why haven't they evloved? If evolution is true shouldn't dogs be able to lift up the toilet seat to drink by now? Shouldn't cats have learned how to open tuna cans?
  • Shootfast, on 04/14/2008, -8/+437It makes more sense when you look at the pictures in reverse order.
    • dragonlink2, on 04/14/2008, -3/+11omg now i'm scared! please say it isn't so!
    • Catballs, on 04/14/2008, -4/+4Oh god, it's so true.
    • nitesoulja, on 04/14/2008, -3/+12probably, the tied it up and dropped it 1.5 miles off shore, ***** bastards
    • jackal27, on 04/14/2008, -4/+2Wow... I just laughed so hard that my chest hurts... God show sir.
    • arnoldsoccer4, on 04/14/2008, -2/+4I see what you did there
    • Stevo23, on 04/14/2008, -1/+16Eh, not so much, http://www.snopes.com/photos/hunting/deerfish.asp
    • hammburglar, on 04/14/2008, -3/+1if you look at them backwards it says "kill kill kill!".
    • Sillywombat, on 04/14/2008, -2/+0SO TRUE!
    • Twili, on 04/14/2008, -5/+2Actually, um, a boat leaves wake when it moves. The deer is not floating on any wake, so you can very easily and logically conclude that the boat was not moving away from the deer. In fact you can even look around to the edges and see no wake, and wake spreads, so please quit while you're ahead and don't try to say it was thrown out the side.
      • l2digg, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1I log in to post maybe once every 6 months. I'd just like to say you're really really really dumb. (I dugg you down for that)
      • twertyto, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2I can very easily and logically conclude that you're an idiot.
    • BJLStorm, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1This is what I immediately thought after seeing these pictures. Deer thrown in water. DUH.
    • JurisAnonimus, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2I considered that, but rejected it because if they wanted to fake it, they would have had it on video tap. They would have tossed the deer, and video taped the rescue. Thus, pretty certain this is legit.
    • the2989, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1Well the deer is clearly soaking wet, so no.
  • MetaMars, on 04/14/2008, -22/+16I hope he eats it.
    • OrangeSoda31, on 04/14/2008, -8/+6Dugg for being the only man on digg
      • rabidbob, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8No, sorry. I stalk, shoot, butcher and eat deer, but if I saw one swimming off shore like that I'd fish it in and take it to land too. Just because you're understand and are happy with your place in the food chain does not mean you can't show compassion as well.
    • Shelter22, on 04/14/2008, -5/+5i hope you die of colon cancer
  • macweirdo42, on 04/14/2008, -11/+97They caught a deer in the process of evolving into a dolphin! Take that Creationist "we've never actually witnessed evolution in action" skeptics!
    • alienunknown, on 04/14/2008, -11/+5I think the creationists won't take much notice of your comment as they all seem to be in the process of evolving into retarded pigs atm...
      • EpicSelekta, on 04/14/2008, -5/+8I'd say they've been elephants since at least the 80s.

        Of course, it would seem that the evolutionists are evolving into jackasses.
        • jessethouin, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4In the spirit of true comedy, no one is safe from that comment. Nice work!
  • callinthelaw69, on 04/14/2008, -8/+20Get the ***** outta here...
  • mcool119, on 04/14/2008, -12/+5Get the ***** outta here!

    • KingGorilla, on 04/14/2008, -2/+8I've been on Digg way too long -_-
      I recognized it as a duplicate
    • CookieOfFortune, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6from the article: "Before we left, I looked him in the eye and said 'See you on opening day; payback time.'"... I guess they were thinking of eating it...
    • J0415, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1wow it's a real story??
      why the hell is it listed under "comedy"???
    • riskybeats, on 04/14/2008, -3/+3I think a re-occurring joke in that article is the fish aren't biting. It wasn't funny the first time, but come the nth time i was ready t- ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD!!!
    • Dwebtron, on 04/14/2008, -2/+1i remember this one as well
    • jax1492, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1old story? why is it just showing up now?
  • Smooooth, on 04/14/2008, -10/+6Get the ***** in there!
  • TheGooseyOne, on 04/14/2008, -10/+5Old, but good. Dumb though that they saved it and then just left it on the beach. Kinda ruins the novelty of it since it almost certainly died anyway.
    • moush, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2You can get a hefty fine from killing an animal when it's not hunting season.

      • S1ngular1ty1, on 04/14/2008, -1/+23HTF should I know.
      • politik192, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6htf is that supposed to "catch on"
      • DrGFreeman, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1I don't even know HTF to use that in a sentence...

  • JermTool, on 04/14/2008, -6/+3So why the ***** is there not any background on this story? I want to know if it was a lake, the ocean, if they killed it (hope they didn't)... anyway, definitely crazy.
  • itsbob, on 04/14/2008, -3/+6Was it big enough to keep or did he have to throw it back?

  • chadillac83, on 04/14/2008, -3/+14I can only imagine what that deer is thinking

  • CaptainChad, on 04/14/2008, -6/+34Ancient. Old. Duplicate.
    • Hindermore, on 04/14/2008, -5/+1Yeah I think I saw this on Snopes like 2 years ago.
    • rodbibeau, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Its sad. I am addicted to Digg and reddit, and overall a good portion of the top stories are old and have been on the site before. Digg needs to make the dup rules a bit more stringent.
    • QuesoPantera, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Boo hoo. I never saw it.
    • blackjack75, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Thanks for not providing any links to old ancients duplicating.
