December 10, 2011 By Second Chance Ranch (Elma, WA) · Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, But this guy has pictures to prove his story... 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. We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say 'thank you' and disappeared into the forest.”
the smallest deer needed some help so they hauled him ashore in a wheelbarrow.

Me to Fisherman: Your doing it wrong.
2nd line.
EDIT: Nature sometimes stops and goes "damn it, gonna have to ask the humans for help i suppose..."
I once read a story about some brittish people living in africa, a lioness brought her cubs in to their home and left them there because she was dying and couldn't look after them herself, she must have figured that the humans were the best hope.

It's a nice story. Aside from the date the article was posted, I didn't see a date in the link, and I don't do Facebook, so I don't know if this was claimed to have been a recent incident or not.

Just an FYI: This happened at least a year ago.

It appears you are right here Raivan. I wonder how do they know they can trust the human being? Do they take a chance or do they "know" the people will not shoot and mount their little heads on a block of wood? That is a fascinating account of the lioness. Amazing too. Thanks.

A couple years ago there was a lot of flooding near Wanganui (New Zealand) - there were some news stories (sorry, I can't find any links) about some cows that were swept down the river and out to sea. Up to 7 days later some poor things were still found swimming in the sea! I thought it was amazing that a big cow could swim that long - maybe something similar happened to the deer, maybe they got caught in a current running from dogs or hunters...
