Man goes fishing but catches four deer instead
Thursday 28th February 2013 | Jodie
Tom Satre was taking his fishing boat out to sea thinking it would be a typical day of fishing. Some fishing stories are hard to believe, but Satre took pictures to prove his.
Satre and his group caught four young black tailed deer that swan directly over to their 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."
Satre headed straight for Taku Harbour with a boat full of scared, exhausted deer. Once the boat reached the dock, the first deer that had been caught hopped off the boat and looked back as if to say 'thank you' and then disappeared into the forest.
