My daughter and I witnessed a doe run into the ocean at surfers beach in Half MOON BAY CALIFORNIA YESTERDAY MORNING. She was turned upside down in the surf and then eventually got herself turned upright and proceeded to swim out into the sea at least a quarter of a mile then started swimming south about a half mile and finally back to the beach. We were amazed ! She was out in deep water for at least 30 minutes and during that time had the attention of many on the beach the harbor patrol and the local sheriff .
I reserached and this happened in the Gulf of Mexico off Maryland in August 2007. The 2 fisherman did haul deer into their boat but they brought it to a beach, left it there weak and shivering and unable to stand. No one knows what happened as they never called Fish and Wildlife or anyone else to help the animal….
That a SEMI rescue…
