I was having a coffee on the shore at pcr this morning and saw something large swimming across the reservoir. It got 3/4 of the way across, then I guess it decided it couldn't make it all the way and headed back. I have never seen a deer swim so far! Thought maybe he had been chased by some coyotes.

I watched a deer swim across a marsh-channel in Louisiana 2yrs ago while Redfishing... only about a 75yd swim, but its a dangerous game down there for deer to be in the water with alligators all over the place.

Last summer I watched a doe swim across one of the most turbulent sectionsof the Bow in the area. It looked like she wasn't going to make it for a minute, her head kept going under in the current. She ended up a few hundred yards down river on an island. I never did figure out exactly what she was up to.
Couple of years ago, 4 Sitka blacktail deer were rescued from Stephen's Passage. Swam right up to the boat and allowed themselves to be hoisted onboard. If you do a search, there are tons of postings of the pics from their adventure.

I've seen bear, deer, moose, and coyotes swimming in the Peace River.
I've also seen deer in Howe sound in B.C. a few miles from shore.
