I was at Medina Lake fishing a small creek when I hear this huge splash behind me, I turn around and this Doe has decided to launch into the water, at first I thought she was swimming from one side of the creek to the other but all she did was swim around in circles and get back out at the same spot she dove in from. She looked like a Lab swimming around in circles, pretty cool!

I have seen this several times over the years fishing. Still an amazing site to see. Thanks for sharing.

Skinny dipping? Thanks for the pics.

Looks like bass city is out of water. Nice cover back there

haha catches you completely off guard doesnt it? see this every once in a while out at lake amistad when yore zipping across the lake youll see them swimming out to the islands that have lots of greens

where you at in this picture? looks like south of goats bluff?

I dont know where goats bluff is. I thought the pic looked cool with all the timber out of the water in the background. That lake is over 50ft low! So yes bass city is way out of the water.

Have seen them many times in LBJ wading but not swimming around. Great photo and thanks for sharing.

Very cool. I'll bet that area is pretty fishy when there's water in the lake.

Truly, it looks a lot better than it fishes.

Awesome photos. I love that first one particularly.

Cool. I have seen this a couple of times out fishing. Once on Brownwood a whole herd swam across the arm. And at PK had a fawn come running down the bank bleating to high heaven like something was after it and hit the water running and swam to the other side of the arm.

Thats a Cool Photo with a Great Back Ground! Thanks for Sharing!

That happened to me one time when a buck was running a doe she jumped in the lake and a buck jumped in right behind her. She swam out about 100 yards with the buck following her and then turned around went back to the shore and took off running still with the buck behind her and that was in March!

I don't know whats more beautiful... the deer in the water or the cover in the background...?

COVER-Final answer!!

Great pics!

Watched the very same scenario on the Brazos one year...makes you wonder how fast those "dew claws" are paddling !!
