Two Alaska Wildlife Troopers wound up playing the role of rescuers last week while boating to Ketchikan in southeast Alaska's famed Inside Passage
ByIn this image taken from video provided by Alaska Wildlife Troopers is one of two deers struggling in the waters of southeast Alaska's famed Inside Passage, on Oct. 10, 2023, near Ketchikan, Alaska. Sgt. Mark Finses and trooper Kyle Fuege were returning from a patrol on a boat in nearby Ernest Sound to Ketchikan when they spotted the deer. The troopers helped the deer aboard, boated to a nearby island, and helped the deer off where they then trotted off into the woods.
The deer were about 4 miles from any island in the channel, which is favored by large cruise ships taking tourists in summer months to locations such as Ketchikan and Juneau. “Out in the middle of Clarence, they’re in rough shape, like on their last leg,” Finses said on a video he shot with his phone and that the troopers posted to social media.
When the deer reached the boat, they butted their heads against it, then swam right up the swim step, at which point the troopers helped them get the rest of the way onboard. Once in the boat, the deer shivered from their time in the cold water. The average temperature of the water in Ketchikan in October is 50.4 degrees Fahrenheit , according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
