What Unusual Deer Activities Were Spotted At Smith Lake?

It is without a doubt, things like this that make me so glad I live in Alabama. You never know what you are going to encounter in our great state.I was invited to a career fair at the University of Alabama yesterday, and it was a really good time.

It was flattering to get an invitation to represent media and Townsquare Media to the students at the University of Alabama. ROLL TIDE!

I met over 100 students individually, and one-on-one, and several of them were from Mobile, Alabama.

Those students from Mobile definitely got where I was coming from, as I told them, anytime we get wind of a story that is crazy or something is just off in a significant way. It is always in Mobile.

They laughed and agreed.

However, in this case, what you are about to see happened right on and in one of our beautiful Alabama lakes.

Recently, we did a story on some of the most beautiful lakes in Alabama, and this was a big winner.

Smith Lake was the site of something I can’t say I have ever seen in my lifetime. Are you ready to take a look?

I’m told those deer meet there regularly and often go tubing or water skiing, or sometimes go for a swim.

As Mike pointed out on Facebook, can you imagine calling Steven Fikes at Allstate in Tuscaloosa to tell him you just hit a deer... in your bass boat?

I asked ChatGPT whether deer like water, and the AI responded that they love water because it is essential to their survival.

Well, I like drinking water, but that doesn’t mean I always want to dive in and swim.
