PHOENIX, La., Dec. 7 (UPI) -- A pair of hunters sitting in their duck blind in Louisiana had a surprising encounter with a different type of game -- three deer out for a swim.

King Logan said he was hunting with his brother Saturday near the town of Phoenix in Plaquemines Parish when they spotted the three deer swimming in the area where the hunters were searching for ducks.

Logan captured video of the encounter with the deer.

"Those deer had no idea we were there until one finally got a whiff, turned and looked right at me," he told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "Then they scampered at a right angle away."

Logan said the deer were never in any danger from him.

"I'm not a deer hunter," he said. "I couldn't even tell you if it's deer season in Louisiana."
