Guys, guys, guys. These pics were taken last November in north central Minnesota by a woman who was taking a walk around their property. The river is the Crow Wing . These pics appeared in a publication called the "Outdoor News" around the 1st of Dec. You can check out their website and verify all I have said here. What I'm claiming here can be proven. They are pics of a Minnesota deer swimming the Crow Wing River last November. All other claims are false and some are out right lies.
It always amazes me what kind of stories pop-up surrounding some photos. These pics have been claimed to be from the Red Deer River in Alberta. Also claimed to be from the North Battleford River in Saskatchewan.
Call the Outdoor News and verify the photos for yourself.
