I investigated this (like I do with so many seemingly unbelievable stories) on www.snopes.com and the story is apparently TRUE! if you ever have any questions about a story you hear, just go to their website and search for a keyword or two and 99% of the time you'll be able to find out if it's really true or not http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/poledeer.asp

Say what you mean and mean what you say.
