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…
Capt. 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 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!”
I told you! Awesome… huh?

State wildlife officials and volunteers conduct the midwinter survey each January as part of a national effort
coordinated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The survey documents trends in wintering populations
of eagles in the lower 48 states, including both the
bald and golden eagles.
The annual eagle assessment in Ohio consists of a
standardized aerial survey that includes traditional
wintering eagle habitat such as the Lake Erie
marshes, Mosquito Creek region and the Scioto River. This year 96 eagles were counted on the flight which is slightly below the 121 eagles that were counted in
2010. Although the weather was cold, there was enough open water along the rivers to continue to hold
eagles in Ohio.
For a list of sites in Ohio where you can see bald eagles , visit the ODNR’s eagle map!
There walleyes were taken the first week of feb 2012 in Lake Erie’s western basin “near the islands”
I cant tell you exactly where the fish were taken , but I can give you a hint on what they were biting!
Through the ice or from the boat , the walleye do like them!
The following photo was shared by Deborah Bame Dick of Findly Ohio who’s daughter harvested a nice Ohio whitetail this past hunting season.
My daugher got this doe with a muzzle loader November 20 2011. Her very first deer that see shot was 2 years ago at the age of 12. She got a very nice 6 point with a bow.
They are moving tonight! While bow hunting today I saw another small buck(11-16-2011) visiting and freshening a scrape, he got a drink and crossed the swollen creek and disappeared behind me out of sight. Just before dark , I noticed a commotion in front of me, I saw 5 or 6 doe’s who kept running in and out of a thicket white flags waving, around and around in a big circle. I noticed several bucks harassing them including a good one who almost came to close! I hit him with a grunt call , he came about 10 steps towards me and stopped , then flicked his tail and went back to his doe’s. I couldn’t pull him away from them. They were scent checking the girls, and Im thinking the scent is just about right! I bet in a day or two the woods will be prime in NE Ohio!
