Caught On Video: Deer Rescued From Lake Mille Lacs

LAKE MILLE LACS, Minn. (WCCO) -- Out on Lake Mille Lacs, the last thing you expect to see is a deer.

Angie Barrows captured video on her cell phone this weekend of a deer struggling in the water about two miles from shore.

At first they tried to get it to swim toward the shore, but when that didn't work, they roped the deer and headed in.

They covered the animal in a blanket for awhile, before it eventually jumped up and ran off.
