A recent video posted on Facebook by Q13FOX shows footage captured on a Nest home security camera of a black bear hauling a deer through the backyard of a Seattle, Wash. home.  

According to the resident, identified as Gwen, the bear dragged the deer through a neighbor’s yard and busted over a fence before showing up on camera. The game and wildlife detective told her that he had never seen anything like it, and that while highly unusual, it was not unlikely that the bear caught and killed the deer based on its condition when found.

Check out the action for yourself in the video embedded above.
