These kind fishermen pulled off a daring rescue when they saw a baby deer in the water who clearly needed to be saved! This little critter was struggling near a boating dock, but not close enough to get back on dry land. Meanwhile, the poor baby’s mother was watching in horror as her little one tried to stay afloat. Luckily, angler K. Parson from AOT Bass Baits decided to intervene. His heroic act was captured on video!
Leaning over the edge of his boat, the man managed to scoop the baby out of the water. Confused, the small creature began to cry out and fight against the human’s grasp.
“I know, I know,” K. Parson said, trying to soothe the animal while his companion steered the boat toward the dock.
Mama deer plunged into the water when she saw the fishermen save her child, attempting to follow the boat. However, once she saw where they were headed, she sprinted back onto the shore. K. Parson carried the baby off the boat, pausing for a moment in front of the camera to marvel at her size.
“She’s so tiny,” he said, gently holding the critter in his arms.
Finally, Mom and baby were reunited.
When the man tried to return the fawn to her mother, the deer scampered off in fright. So, he opted to drop the baby off near some bushes and walk away, hoping that Mom would return as soon as the humans were out of sight.
Footage of the fishermen going out of their way to save this baby deer has been going viral on social media. In the video’s caption, AOT Bass Baits explained how the animal ended up in the water in the first place.
“Turns out the lawn crew scared them off and a water rescue ensued,” they wrote, adding, “Momma & baby are okay.”
We’re so glad these fishermen were around to save this tiny deer and reunite her with Mom!
