Deer On Ice — Priest Lake Style

Pecky Cox/As the Lake Churns tells of a rescue of a deer on ice at Priest Lake's Kalispell Bay. Pecky took photos while she and her husband, Fred, tried to rescue this critter about 1 p.m. today. At 4 degrees, sez Pecky, this wasn't "as fun as it seems. The deer kept running back away from us toward the ice. We had to get him out three different times." Pecky cracked one of her camera lenses in the process. But "we are all fine -- all three of us."
