What an awesome story! It's so nice to see people helping animals.

It's a nice story to offset Alaskan Sarah Palin's blatant disregard for animal life as she blew a caribou to smithereens on her new reality show.

Now these Alaskans are worthy of my applause! Thank you for being kind enough to help these animals in need!

What an angel from God you and your family are.. This story makes my heart warm knowing how caring people you are.. Bless you all..

I am speechless--those are REAL men--no killing--and with a heart--it's about time we see REAL men--they should get a MEDAL of for saving 4 lives--I hope they get some type of a GOOD thank from the people--thank you so much for having a heart--(:>)

Nice to see there is still good News to write about in this world of hard times. You are gems. Just goes to show yea there is hope for all, humans and animals.

Thank you so very much for saving the deer! What an act of kindness. With all the negative news we all hear everyday...this touched my heart!

I have put your story and photos in my "Hero" file. This file is my collection of extraordinary people who have inspired me by performing extraordinary acts to help others. You make me proud to be a member of your species. Thank you.

One of the most heart touching stories that I have ever read. I have watched the rescue many times with compassion
for the crew and for the deer. God bless.

Kudos to Captain Satre and crew. It sounds like the last deer wanted to hang around for a while. Perhaps the deer was hoping they had bagged a few lobster or king crab and wanted in on dinner.

What a tragedy so many human beings around the world inflict so much pain on one another, yet theres a special bond between humanes and animals like this story that should make us all feel so much better inside, if even for just awhile.

Amazing! Animals have the insctinct to seek help. How many of us struggle with things through most of our lives without being able to find it.

that was a very nice thing to do for these 4 deer thank u for helping them out .

THIS is what giving is about, they gave instead of taking which during the Christmas season is what we should ALL do. What a great uplift story to see...thank you!

Bless you for saving those beauties! We should all be more like that with animals and people. Thank goodness you were at the right place at the right time and have a good heart and knowledge to be able to help the way you did.

There has to be more pictures. Please show more pictures, like how they got on to the boat.

I love the photo of the deer in the wheelbarrow. It shows hoe exhausted and dependent thaey must have been on you for help. Amazing. They were lucky to come across you!

Compassion and kindness!!! You are truly kind people!
Thank you for helping them when so many would not. You are exceptional!

That is so awesome. Deer should not die that way.

To all the hunter haters,
I was humbled by those huge hearted folks that pulled in those Deer. I wish I was there to help.

This though, is how deer die:

Old age with pain and suffering, alone, as the sick and injured are left behind.

Or natural selection, predatory kill, although they get eaten alive, not how I'd wanna go

Hunt Option:
Be precise, instant,painless, death from a good Deer Rifle, a Hunter feeding his family out of need.


All of these happen.

I know how I'd wanna go.

This the most heartwarming story I have read in a long time. Thank you so much for not killing these beautiful creatures, and for showing them grace during their time of need. Bravo!!

Bless you for saving them! This was a wonderful story and I am so grateful for the happy ending! Have a Merry Christmas!

All of you men are 'angels on earth' I just know that what you did for God's lost and very weary animals put a smile on HIS face and HE will bless you all for your good deed!

Thank you for letting my grand children see that there are good people left in this world after all...

Agape love,

God placed this awesome captain and crew at the right time and the right place in order to rescue these four bucks. You can count on that.

NICE!! VERY NICE!!!

They are not people they are a eco food source but a very nice jesture.

that is so cute. the picture with all the deer sitting together with one falling asleep was so cute!!!!!!!!!

what an awesome story! I had tears in my eyes just reading it & such gorgeous pictures...they are such a beautiful animal! God bless you all for helping..there ought to be more of that.

What a wonderful story of kindness shown to these helpless animals! Bless you for what you did. I know that God provided animals and plants for our food, but we can be humane about the process. Thank you for the kindness you showed to those deer. It's amazing that you were able to get them in the boat.

as hunters and fisherman, we help out animals along the way a lot of times when we are out there, glad to see it gets some attention,

now if the anti hunting folks would do half of what sportsman do for our wildlife, the world would be an even better place.

How amazing! Animals know whom they can trust. My husband has this sort of uncanny animal attraction and is always helping them but this takes the trust the deer felt to the extreme. Way to go people....You did the right thing.

Do deer pay only half fare if they only take half the trip?

I'm and Alaskan hunter,yes I said hunter and along with all of the hunters I know we would have helped these deer in need.
Good job Captain, and what a once in a life time experiance.

we love this story, it is so heart warming, especially at this time of year. Thanks for saving those deer, all lives are precious.

What a lovely story of how those deer were saved such true kindness in helping those animals in desperate need bless themx

I like it. A great story with a happy ending.
Although I am not a Sarah Palin fan, what does Palin's shooting a caribou have to do with the issue Michael? I am certain the Palin family ate what they killed, so it did not go to waste.
Besides, how many animals have you and your loved ones been responsible for killing or being killed in your lifetimes by eating meat or fish, wearing or sitting on leather, using cosmetics or whatever?
I wish the people with agendas would just quit trying to shove them down everyones' throats.

Good for you! Thank God they found someone with heart to help them. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. I hope this act brings you a lifetime of good fortune and blessings, akin to finding a penny- find four bucks and show them kindness-may you forever have good luck!

has to be a great moment to help gods creatures in time of need ! Thanks for sharing.

After visiting Alaska this summer I'm not at all surprised by the kindness of Alaskans. What lovely people living in a truly beautiful state. The Satre family restores our faith in the goodness of people. I am surprised by the sunshine! It rained or drizzled every day of our wondeful trip.

This shows how close we all are in the grand scheme of things. When we need help, we reach out to each other.

I recall reading many years ago a story (supposedly true) of a young boy who fell from a large ship into a much larger ocean, and was not noticed missing for several hours. He told of being circled by a fish (I think it was a stingray, which seems totally unbelievable) who swam under him until he held on to it, and was towed for about two days until an island was reached. The stingray got to shallow water, and left him. I can't find the story online anywhere, but please post if you find it. ;) Thanks! Even better if you find the source.

Isn't it sad that when people do something nice we find it extraordinary. Everyone should be as kind and wonderful as this family and the world would be a much better place. God bless them all for saving the animals.

Great story, do you have some more pics ??

Your story and photos are really very good. I have saved it and will refer to my friends definitely.
