These Deer Were Trapped In The Icy Waters With No Hope In Sight. Until God Sent Help Just In Time!
July 30, 2014
Most fishing stories are pretty hard to believe, but there are pictures to go along with this unbelievable story, and you'll love it! This was the most interesting - and blessed - day of fishing one family has ever experienced.
A man named 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. The young deer were in icy waters and swimming around frantically, looking at the fishermen with pleading eyes.
"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 had been 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!"
The Lord works in mysterious ways! Thank God this fisherman and his family were out on the water at the right place and at the right time to save all of these young deer from dying from hypothermia or drowning.
