Deer Floats Down River on Ice

Occurred on April 23, 2018 / St. Francis, Maine, USA

Info from Licensor: "Someone had posted a picture of a deer stranded on the ice on the St. John River in Allagash, Maine. My brother-in-law called to tell us there was a deer floating down past our house on a chunk of ice. Figuring it was the same deer as the one spotted in Allagash, a dozen or so miles upstream, I grabbed my phone to go film it. As I was filming it floating downstream, it got close enough to the shore, so it stepped off the ice into the water. It went under the ice a couple times, I thought the deer had drowned. As I was telling bystanders what happened, the deer came up onto the road, ran across and into the woods."
