What an
experience. They probably would have died if it hadn’t been for that boat

Went Fishing, Caught 4 Deer
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.
"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.
This is me carrying the little guy.
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! Our Lord works in mysterious ways.

hear." - Mark
