We had a beautiful day on Lake Michigan on our boat today, it was warm, sunny, no wind............

It got pretty crowded for one minute, we actually saw two other boats pass by at the same time(it's a biiig lake).

The most amazing thing happened when we stopped near a bluff on the western shore, and while we were sunning ourselves, two deer swam by.

Bucks. With racks! No nully, not THAT kind of rack!

They were swimming out, almost a mile out, and looked pretty confused and freaked. Another boat had seen them first and decided to turn them towards shore, and we both herded them all the way back. They were exhausted when they walked out onto the shore.

Dang, I can't believe we didn't have a camera.

That is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen deer swimming or actually in water other than at water's edge, having a drink.

I'm a wee bit jealous of your pleasant weather. We're still in the midst of an unusually early heat wave and would enjoy a few weeks of cooler weather. A trip to the nearby beaches seems a bit futile at this point. :( I'm thinking of heading to the hills around NC or upper east TN where I know the weather is nicer at this time of the year.

Those weren’t deer, those were two giant beavers!

I tied racks to their heads to confuse you. Looked like you fell for it. Punk’d! :P

I always knew you’d go through a lot of effort just to save a couple bucks...
