A water rescue

Many a fisherman has experienced pulling something odd (other than fish) out of the water - an old tire, an appliance, maybe a carcass of a non-marine animal species (including, sometimes, human beings). But what Chad Campbell of Washington and Bo Warren of Virginia pulled out of Chesapeake Bay in 80 feet of water about a mile and a half off Bloody Point one day in 2007 was not unusual just for being in the water in the first place, but for being very much a non-carcass.


What they fished out of the bay one busy saturday was a live whitetail deer. Where the deer was coming from was about five miles back, and where he was going to he said you could barely make out that it was land. They pulled the deer in the boat and he was so tired, he didn't move.




Once on shore, the deer was fully recovered and trotted off.
