Title: Saved a fawn last night from drowning!
Post by: OneArmArrowSlinger on May 29, 2009, 05:39:00 PM
Was on the way to my wife's little brother's 8th grade graduation last night when we saw a doe & her fawn standing in the creek. We backed up to get a better look and the fawn tripped and fell in the creek and had his/her back leg wedged in a rock. As a true outdoors man should, I decided that I couldn't let the little thing drown so I took off my shoes and went out and got the little booger. I guess you might be a redneck if you wade into a creek to save a fawn in your Sunday's best. I must say that it was one of the coolest things I've ever done. My wife got it on film. Here's the youtube link guys, enjoy!

Well you might be a redneck, but good on you mate, as they say! Those rocks look real uncomfortable.


Might grow up to be a 14 pt buck one day.

I wish more people would understand that as true hunters, we love God's creatures and never want them suffering needlessly - especially the weak and helpless.   You're a good man!

That is way too cool... I have saved a couple of baby birds that have fallen in rivers while fly fishing but nothing nearly as cool as that!!!

Glad you saved the cute little bugger  :thumbsup:
