Deer Swimming Across the entire lake

On a very cold morning here in Hot Springs Village one our guest filmed this 6 point buck swimming across the entire lake.
You can find this and more on our sister page Hot Springs Village Venues. Therefore, as you can see in the closeup below he was pretty cold. Deer are known to do this, but generally in warmer weather, it was an unusually cold period for early November.
Temperatures have come back to normal (60 highs and 40 lows) since then. 2 things are of real notice.. 1. He swam the WIDTH of the entire lake. Lake Desoto is 186 acres and all of our Airbnb rentals are located on Lake Desoto, very close to the WayPoint Marina. It is approximately 3/4 of a mile across the lake at this point.

Therefore, a Deer swimming across entire lake is pretty rare and is even more odd on a REALLY cool morning. As you can tell we still had a lot of our beautiful fall weather here in beautiful hot springs village. Truly we do see Deer Swimming Across the entire lake but it is more common for them to cut across a corner or such and generally in the summer when i cooling dip would feel a lot better. Additionally, deer are very easily spooked and don’t like being exposed in the open (middle of lake desoto) for very long .. much less in the broad daylight.
