Fishermen Save Baby Deer

While fishing, these three fishermen noticed the fawn out in the middle of the lake. The men rescued the deer and took it back to shore.

[@KaylainGrin]

Why are people whining about the deer not showing gratitude?! Its a baby! Not only that, the poor thing was probably scared out of his/her mind!

[@cheyennepaige1604]

And you know its A DEER

[@mackenzie6137]

I'm pretty sure they are just joking.

[@jeffro1234567891]

The fawn was out way to far in the water to survive. Excellent move by taking it to shore. Most people would have let it drowned not knowing what to do and worrying about touching it. Once on shore, the fawn will call its mother. The fawns call can be heard for miles so I'm almost certain it met up with its mother. :)

[@africkinamerican]

Mothers call their fawns too!

[@kazukinekoyuki2490]

je suis d'accord avec toi. les gents sont parfois tellement con que je me demandent si c'est de naissance(ceux qui aurais laisser le faon dans l'eau)

[@brazen69tc]

... Unless she's on the other side of the lake... : ((

[@jeffro1234567891]

Tammy Hout If that happened, the mother can easily swim across. I've actually seen adult deer swim across large rivers. Sound travels across water really well so identifying her young and finding it would be easy. :))

[@brazen69tc]

Glad to know...

[@ITforeveryone]

Thank you to these gentlemen that took the time to care. It's nice to see that there is still some sense of caring in the world.

[@Greywuylf]

Bless you guys for what you did for this baby! You guys are awesome!

[@911ambulancegirl]

that's kind of a hard call, because I don't know if it would be able to find it's mama just letting it loose there, and it was way too young to survive on it's own. I think maybe it should have been taken to a rehabilitation center or home to be raised... But definitely what was done was better than leaving it out in the water, poor baby!

[@displeasedbob2490]

Their calls for their moms can be heard for a mile, so im pretty sure it was found

[@lorismith3249]

You make perfect sense...

[@benjaminortiz387]

911ambulancegirl ......mother either drowned or became an unfortunate prey Hopefully neither

[@Peorhum]

A predator could have spooked it into jumping into the water to begin with. It's mother could have been killed or was leading it across the lake and it fall behind. The odds are it did not make it and was killed or starved. I hope I am wrong but I am doubtful it survived. Deer are pretty smart though, one can hope it's mother found it again.

[@KARTHIKPANCH97]

YES THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY OR KEPT IT WITH THEM AND FED MILL AND RAISED IT AND THEN LEFT IT IN A WOODS WHERE IT'S SAFE WITH OTHER DEER

[@ghostrider3795]

You men did a great job and got that baby to safety. I'm just thankful for people like you, who take initiative.

[@thehillbillyhoarder4996]

Thank you for having compassion for the fawn.

[@jaybirdy22]

Nice to see there are some great people left in this world!!! Thank you

[@catwalk1470]

Thank you Fishermen for Kindness. GOD Bless all.

[@terryrheadset]

wonderful act of kindness! May it come back to you and your friends ten fold!!

[@vonfrmtac687]

Godbless you for saving this poor dear

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

Who knows if it survived long without its mother...?

[@GhostOfBillCooper]

They didn't save it they just gave it a slow death by starvation without its mother or eaten by predator.

[@katgrey6239]

Thanks guys! The babe has a chance to live! God bless you. 😇

[@ChosenWon]

Great job. Thank you.

[@adeleking9852]

I'm a bit concerned about this one. That fawn is too young to survive on its own. Maybe mom was on shore, but doubtful, take it in the direction is was going, but only intervene if it starts to go under. It's a tough call, mom is probably dead, but then take it to a sanctuary. Anyway, we are a part of nature too and your hearts were in the right place.

[@Yelpopr777]

3:11 THAT TINY LITTLE SQUEAL THO ALSKD:LK I just love how it blinks and sits there so snug and it's jUST SO CUTE ASDK:ALK I love baby deers ;u;

[@mmmbad]

God Bless you guys for saving the fawn! Great job!

[@Zultchy]

I wish we could effectively communicate with other animals so that we could convey that we mean no harm. That'd be cool.

[@JasonBrazen]

But what if we do mean harm? I mean I was getting pretty hungry watching this video lol

[@Zultchy]

Well. Maybe only if the feeling is sincere. XD

[@JasonBrazen]

+Zultchyy Hahaha yea I was j/k

[@evergreenneedle4210]

REAL COOL

[@Tomasz_Piekarski]

Gone fishing and caught a deer. Wonder what type of bait they used... ;-P

[@javinpina9961]

+BEERCOASTERSpl Deer Bait Probably!

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

+BEERCOASTERSpl and they didnt eat it

[@marilynalvarez9951]

Deer fishing can cost a pretty buck (grin)

[@susanolson3611]

catch and release...

[@necromonger666]

@@susanolson3611 Yeah, he was undersized.

[@tieetop]

I know their intentions were good and that they are good -hearted people, but the chances of the fawn being found by it's mother in this situation is not good, without knowing where and why it went into the water. It will not survive, to ensure survival the fawn should have been brought to a wild-life rescue organization.

[@chainamarie03]

I was thinking the same..where could the fawn have found her/his mother. I would have called for help in where to put the baby. But they were trying to do a good deed tho.

[@stdpozer]

silly people what were they thinking

[@Peorhum]

Yeah, I would have not just released it as they did. Their intentions were good...until hunting season.

[@dtom1642]

You have to realize though that not every city or county has rehab or rescue centers for wild animals. Even if you call Game and Parks, most of the time in situations like this, they tell you to let it go and leave it be so nature can take its course because there’s nothing they can do about it.

[@poosmate]

Aww that was so cute, you guys are heroes!

[@bimba-lola8910]

thnks you man you all very kind people,,love deer,,so cute,,

[@LeamberC]

Deer are very strong swimmers. But the babies only have so much energy. Thank you for saving this one!

[@krististevens54322]

my words exactly Javon. thank The Lord you guys had the perfect spot at the perfect time.

[@kdeake]

That fawn looked like it was in big trouble to me! Way too far out for the little guy. Thank you to the men who saved it's life!!!

Dodo in the comments!

[@Hieifireshadow]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. ;_;

[@got8005]

NO its kinda savage, no protection from an older deer means certain death, it probably got killed by a predator

[@Hieifireshadow]

So you're saying it's better for it to die drowning in a lake as opposed to contributing to the natural cycle of life in the food chain? Yeah, because that makes perfect sense.

[@got8005]

Hieifireshadow IT did have a better chance of survival if it swam torwards its destination, the land there probably had its mother there, and yeah your smartass comment just makes you look like a dipshit that makes perfect sense, reply if you want you seem like a waste of time so i have your replys on autodelete

[@Hieifireshadow]

You're funny. Seriously. I'm impressed by your lack of logic. Goodbye.

God bless y'all for saving the young youth the baby will survive if not well hopefully the the baby deer will have a better place to be on

[@larisaskrebneva9628]

Thabk you so much that you did this.

[@vanessaphillips4661]

Thank you, for saving that baby

[@TmnthpLeogirl]

The distress call or screaming is actually a call out to any doe or its mother who hears it. Does who hear it even from miles away will come running. By instinct they will actually adopt the fawn which is why you see some with two or three in some cases. Also don't be near a fawn if your on land because I've also seen someone almost be mauled by a doe defending a fawn. They have no mercy when it comes to someone harming their babies.

[@kolaida]

Good! I'm glad to hear that!! :)

[@Pumanic]

They CAN actually give birth to twins and tripplets, which is waaaay more common than the rare adoption case, which I to be honest have never heard about before and don't think is common or very likely.

[@TmnthpLeogirl]

Pumanic Usually yes it doesn't happen but when me and my brother we're just doing fawn calls for coyotes about five different does came running and stopping looking for where the distress sounds were coming then running back.

[@kannanwariyas9999]

God bless your hearts.

[@JeanySullivan]

Awww well done, I love you all!!! :-)

[@chickenflinger5002]

THAT LITTLE SOUND IT MADE, AWWWWWW MY GOD MY HEART IS IN TEARS!!!

[@DSWood358]

so sweet, thank you

[@magpieeye3239]

How in heavens name did that fawn get out that far? Omg thank god you guys were out there. Did you happen to see if the mother was around? I sure hope so otherwise she/he probably wouldn't have survived without it's momma.

[@darthroden]

They can swim a good ways. He might have drowned though he was young and out really far.

[@autry33]

The fawns cry can be heard for miles so chances are very high the mother found the baby. :)

[@Karmy.]

Poor deer! Wonder how it got out there

I also wondered where the mom might be.... definitely good call to take it to shore... good job guys.

[@FrenchyBunnyStudio]

Great job!

[@TinyHouseMeetup]

Thank you!

[@Myserabella]

how did that baby get in the middle of a lake O_o

[@Cakegolem]

Myserabella Perhaps it and the mother were crossing the lake and the baby got disoriented/separated.

[@caitlynroseking]

ya i wander 0---o

[@ragingshibe]

+Cakegolem I don't think the mother is dumb enough to swim across a lake with its baby. The baby was probably being chased by a preatedor and was forced to escape to the waters.

[@Cakegolem]

+Samuel Callejo That's a definite possibility.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

+Myserabella - They used bait.

[@Mr2007math]

Only a real Hunter will do like this. When Fishing, go for Fishing only and Fish what we need and when Hunting, Hunt what we need only. Because a Hunter should aware that our future generation is also deserve to Hunt and Fish. Hunting or Fishing does not mean that not helping the Animals, if they are in trouble. So Great work Mr. Fisherman..

[@hannahcolberg3102]

omg I feel so sorry for the fawn thank u for saving it🙆

what do you think happened to it after being released into the wild without its mom?

The deer just runs off once at shore..... so much for gratitude!

[@karlynn5822]

Wtf is the deer doing in the middle of the lake?

[@nikkijo777]

swimming

[@mercurysimple3850]

It was thirsty!

[@chitocano7824]

It was skinny dipping 😂😂

[@victorsimpson8847]

It was most likely swimming across with its mommy and got left behind, they should have tuck it across to the side it was heading to.

[@kilroywashere123]

awwwwww...thanks for saving the poor thing and ignore the ignorant comments by the trolls :-)

[@sdrawkcab96]

I like how there is so much bickering over these guys helping a baby deer out. I can assure you, though slim, it's chances of survival are ALOT greater back on land. That poor thing was going under that far out.

[@Terree918]

hope baby was found by her mother...and lived....its hard for a baby deer to make it on its own in the wild without mom....but bless the guys that saved her or him...

I think the fishermen did the right think.The fawn was to far out.I don't think the mother deer was there,she wouldn't of left her that far out in the water so good for you guys.You helped to save that fawn.GOOD JOB BOYS.

[@dr.ravindratyagi7359]

This is what is called is being human :)

[@sirdanik]

Humans torture animals all the time, even in this "seemingly innocent" video, they're still fishing. They're killing fish, that's NOT a nice thing to do. Go vegan, and only then can you say that you're a nice human. The deer wasn't even drowning, it was SWIMMING, and if anything, they just took it to the total opposite part of the lake, and now it's lost its family forever, because it knew how to go back to the shore, but they took it to the whole other part of the lake, and basically ruined its life, because it will never see its mother ever again. Did you see how far from the shore that deer was? A deer simply DOESN'T get that far and "not know how to swim". This deer was in NO danger, and they just ruined its life.

[@dr.ravindratyagi7359]

sirdanik You must be true. I have not seen people fishing. I couldn't understand what they were dong. I don't know about others but see coincidentally I am a vegan and I am proud of it. :)

[@stanpatterson5033]

....And there I was, enjoying my first swim, when this noisy thing started circling me. I couldn't get away! Then something grabbed me and hoisted me right up out of the water into this weird alien convertible-top-down craft, and then these 3 creatures with beer breath held me hostage for a while, before taking me back to shore and chucking me back into waist-deep water. I decided it would be better to hide in the dense foliage rather than wait to see if the creatures were going to follow me. Wow. What a day. Wait til Mom hears what happened !

[@vermalreik4646]

xD I think the deer likes to swimm

[@brazen69tc]

Poor thing is panting... It would have probably drowned before it ever made it back to shore. Great job guys!

[@sinistergirl2185]

Great JOB guys!!!! Now if only there was a tournament for that lol.

[@rosielxxrik]

I could be wrong but it just looks like it's swimming.

[@sirdanik]

It was swimming, a deer doesn't get that far into a lake while not knowing how to swim. They just took it far away from its mother, and ruined its life. Cruel. These guys should get arrested.

[@theothercrypt]

sirdanik Actually, I'm pretty sure it's mother wasn't out in the middle of the lake with it... They brought it to the closest shore, which is 85% likely to be the shore that it came from in the first place. Therefore, they were kinda bringing the little guy BACK to its mother... Soooo, you know... COMPASSIONATE. It's a fawn, it's innocent and ignorant of most of the things that it gets taught later on. Its a deer, its not the intelligent to begin with. The little guy probably got spooked and bolted into the water and just kept swimming. I doubt it knew it would get tired and not be able to return the long swim back to shore. I don't care where you are standing, its obvious these guys saved it from drowning. Then, on top of that, they let it get back to shore without fuss and as little interference as possible where it very obviously was calling for its mother who, I don't doubt, was somewhere on that shore coming to find it in response. Open your eyes and take off those charred up glasses that are very blatantly obscuring your vision.

[@theothercrypt]

sirdanik Never did I say that a deer can't swim, they are actually pretty good swimmers. What I said, and as you must have overlooked in my other comment, was that this is a BABY and its a DEER, two things running against it in the smarts department, it doesn't yet know its own physical limits. The little guy probably got spooked and bolted into the water and just continued to swim as far as possible. Only when it got to the point that it was really low on energy did the thing realize it was so far from shore that he probably couldn't see it itself and had no chance of making it back. These fisherman saved it from drowning, that's my point. Anyone or anything, even people, that far from the shore are in some amount of trouble. A person would have to be a pretty good swimmer to be able to get out that far and swim back without problem. Now think of a fawn, much smaller, much younger, much less energy, and much less skilled at swimming when compared to a human. That thing WOULD HAVE drowned if it was left. 100%. you could already see the poor guy struggling to keep his head above water. WHERE is there logic in saying "Oh, the mother may not even be on that side of the lake!". Because one: it doesnt seem like a huge body of water, I don't doubt that an animal or a person could take a day and walk around to the other side, and two: why would a person leave the little thing to drown with a simple 'it'll die if i bring it to shore anyway', there is a HUGE chance that the mother could very well be close by. yeah, maybe there is a 60% chance of the fawn finding it mother and surviving after they got it to shore, but there was a 0% chance of it surviving if they left it out in the middle of the lake. Any sensible person with compassion would take that small chance to save its life. But hey, I don't know you and I don't know what you would do, I can only speak off of the images you are creating with your oh-so-educated comments. Perhaps you are not a sensible person with compassion and therefore would have left the deer to 'continue its merry swimming'. So, dear sir, I think you should maybe reevaluate you look upon life and nature and the animals that are within it. Maybe sing one of those childrens songs that teaches you about compassion.

[@joeyb.756]

NaturesCreed The fawn will also be adopted by another doe too. So if its mother cannot find it, it doesn't mean that's the end of that fawns life. I have does that adopt orphan fawns all the time on my properties. So I'd say that chance of survival is about 85%, which is about its normal chance anyway if they make it through the first week, which this fawn is about 4-6 weeks old or older..

[@joeyb.756]

sirdanik Whatever. You obviously are the authority on deer and wildlife biology. I took the bait folks, but don't feed the troll.

[@Indigo1Black]

What was a baby deer doing out in the middle on a River? Apart of me thinks you put the Fawn in the middle of the River and filmed like you actually recused the Fawn falsely.
