4 Alaskan deer saved from drowning by local good-Samaritan boaters
This is a crazy story with a fortunately happy ending that took place back in October, 2010.
From Northern Sports Network…
A foursome of young button bucks fell upon some good luck Sunday as they were pulled from the icy waters of Stephens Passage by a group of locals out to enjoy the last few days of recent sunshine.…
Once they reached the vessel, Satre said they began to circle the boat and looked obviously distressed. The typically skittish and absolutely wild animals came willingly and once on the boat, collapsed with exhaustion. They were shivering.
Witnesses reported all the deer recovered fully from what appeared to be exhaustion and a bit of hypothermia.

The way things go these days, I’m surprised they weren’t charged with hunting without a license.
That is a nice thing they did – such a nice little things they did. Don’t ya love the old man farmer type that always seems to get the whole family together, and he’s always the one with the thick beard and awesome stories, and he always has time to listen to the youngens – with a great big smile on his face. I never had that, but I will be that loving grandfather.
