Saved a fawn last night from drowning!
« on: May 29, 2009, 05:39:00 PM »
Was on the way to my wife's little brother's 8th grade graduation last night when we saw a doe & her fawn standing in the creek. We backed up to get a better look and the fawn tripped and fell in the creek and had his/her back leg wedged in a rock. As a true outdoors man should, I decided that I couldn't let the little thing drown so I took off my shoes and went out and got the little booger. I guess you might be a redneck if you wade into a creek to save a fawn in your Sunday's best. I must say that it was one of the coolest things I've ever done. My wife got it on film. Here's the youtube link guys, enjoy!

Well you might be a redneck, but good on you mate, as they say! Those rocks look real uncomfortable.

You did the right thing.. I too would have had to stop and try to save the fawn. Thanks for sharing the video.
