Fishermen Net Barking Deer
I ran across this article while looking for strange news. I’ve got to say it fits the bill.
I’ve seen deer do many things, but barking isn’t one of them. Then again, it would make sense as to why there are so many deer hunters up trees, wouldn’t it? Combine their bark with getting an antler in the rear and I would be going up trees too.
In all seriousness though, what they reported as a ‘bark’ was likely a ’snort’, something that’s very common among deer. It’s something usually heard when the deer is frightened. To those who may not know, which most hunters are well aware of what it sounds like, it is the sound you make if you purse your lips like you’re saying ‘o’ and then blow with the jaws relaxed. The deer was likely coming around from the ordeal and was expressing his fright at last.
As the article mentioned, deer are excellent swimmers and usually don’t need the help of caring but unknowledgable humans. Even though they thought they were helping the buck, they were putting themselves in a potentially dangerous situation. If the animal had came aboard the boat, the outcome could have been disasterous.
