	Lawsuit against the Port of Orcas regarding deer fence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Port was advised by the airport manager, eight days after the accident at issue in this case, that the "deer are a clear and present danger to aircraft operations" and "absolutely nothing" has been done to deter their movement on and about the AOAs.
		The Port argues that the Port is entitled to discretionary immunity because the Port weighed the risks of building a deer fence against the alternatives, involving basic governmental policy.
		In specific, the Port maintains that the plaintiff knew there were deer hazards on the runway and assumed the risk of landing at the airport at night knowing the potential danger of deer on the runway.
