Post Fish 4 deer

This fall while bass fishing these two bucks where spotted over two miles from shore. They where making their way from the main land Conn. to the Norwalk islands. A couple of years ago the mass state record non-typical rack was found dead by a fisherman in the vinyard sound. I often hear that deer will swim along ways and through strong currents. I wonder what would poses a deer to make such a journey.

I,ve seen them swimming many times while I,m digging
and almost always its been because they have been tracked by hunters ++ usually to a deadend point and they have no choice////////////////////

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!
