A Texas deputy checking what he thought was a dead deer on the side of the road was caught on video recoiling in shock when the animal suddenly sprang to life, an incident that the local sheriff later confirmed ended with “the deer is fine.” In Trinity County, Texas, a routine check by a law enforcement officer turned memorable after a deer presumed lifeless gave the deputy, and millions of viewers, a jolt. The deputy, whose name was not provided, approached a deer lying beside a road, expecting to find an animal that had already died. Instead, the deer startled everyone by leaping up, sending the deputy running for his cruiser and letting out a scream before he regained his composure and laughed at the situation. The moment was…Open

A large buck wandered into a St. Johns County, Florida, home on August 23, parked itself next to the toilet, took two dips in the backyard pool, and escaped through a fence before deputies could do much about it. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office shared video of the bizarre encounter on Facebook, showing the deer standing calmly beside the toilet bowl as deputies tried to figure out their next move. One deputy, audibly stunned, summed up the situation on camera. "First time I've had a deer in a house in 23 years of my profession." How the animal got inside remains unclear. No one in the household was named in the sheriff's office post, and the agency offered no explanation for the deer's point of entry. But the footage left little…Open

A video of a white-as-snow albino buck sprinting across a road in Wisconsin's Northwoods has taken Instagram by storm, a sight so rare that even lifelong outdoorsmen say they may never witness it twice. Instagram user @joelord_wi posted the footage this week, showing a full-racked albino whitetail deer bolting across a Wisconsin road in broad daylight. The clip spread fast, and it is easy to see why. Albino whitetails are strikingly unusual animals, ghostly white from nose to tail, with a full set of antlers that makes this particular buck even harder to dismiss as a trick of the light. The person behind the camera seemed to grasp the moment. In the Instagram caption, @joelord_wi wrote: "Well I hope this was a good omen for fishing this…Open

A video of a ghost-white buck sprinting across a Wisconsin road has taken off on Instagram, and for anyone who has spent time in the state's forests, the footage is as rare as it gets. Instagram user @joelord_wi shared the clip this week, showing a full-racked albino whitetail deer bounding across a road somewhere in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The animal, bright white from nose to tail, with a heavy set of antlers, moved fast enough that the encounter lasted only seconds. But those seconds were enough to send the video racing across social media. Albino whitetail deer are staggeringly uncommon. Only about one in every 30,000 whitetail births produces an albino, Fox Weather has reported . Wisconsin does not publish an exact count of albino…Open
