A once in the history of mankind kind of thing. The Best Day Of Fishing Ever! Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe but this guy has pictures to prove his story... I've heard of salmon jumping into boats, but never anything quite like this...
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
"Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed. I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I've never seen anything quite like it! Once on board, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering."
"This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, the Alaska Quest. We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say 'thank you' and disappeared into the forest. After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help.

My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn't know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!"
I told you! Awesome!

It is simply amazing that these deer would waive the usual fear of man and civilization to survive. They must be much smarter and intuitive than we know.
What an awesome story.
Looks like provisions to me.
and you look like provisions for the dogs 6:09.
man, it sure is lucky those deer didn't ask for help around here, because as 6:09's "ass"inine comment proves, this A-HOLE REDNECK TROPHY HUNTING TRASH we have around here would have just blasted them to death right there in the water, then there would have been high fives, hoots and hollers, butt rubs, rebel yells, beer chuggin' and photos aplenty to show the folks back home in bubba junction the great achievement that BUBBAGUT the "buckmaster" had just done. you know who you are.
Hey 8:10 - you're bacon is done. Sounds like your brain is too.
Thank God for you and your crew, what a wonderful story and pictures.
8:10 Head on back to your magical world where meat just grows in bags and price tags.
Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.Wish I had been there to see it.

Joe I know math isn't your better subject, but it was 7 years ago. This is just between you and me. I promise I won't tell anyone.
The ORIGINAL article was in 2006. The article I linked to was from 2007 and titled "One Year Ago Today". Nice try.
Nice story---Thanhks for Putting it
out there!
