me and Brad witnessed. We were going up the river and Brad said hey, there is a dog or a deer swimmimg the river. Sure enough it was a doe in the water. A house dog was running her. The deer swam down river about 100 yards and climbed onto the bank, she had a broken left leg. Not that that is really a major concern for a deer but in this case it was really bad as she had come out on the bank where the only way to safety was STRAIGHT up one of those steep, steep cliffs. She would get about half way up, lose her footong then fall back to the bottom. We watched this for a couple minutes and decided we couldn't stand the agony she was in so we left. Don't know if she ever made it up that bank. The humane thing would have been to put her out of her misery, she was absolutley exhausted! Just kinda sucked seeing this animal struggling so hard. OK CF, I know - but hey, It was a sad sight!
