Good news from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The Department's Game Warden social media page released a video last week of amazing effort by a warden in November.
According to the post, last Thanksgiving, a Kansas Game Wardens was called out on his day off to a whitetail buck stuck in a fence.
It was apparent that the buck had been there most of the night, as he was very tired and not happy. The buck appeared to have a nylon rope tied to an aluminum pipe that was caught in his antlers, and when he attempted to jump the fence it must have got caught.
The game warden was able to successfully cut the deer free without harm. Wardens across the state frequently get these types of calls during the months when deer are on the move, and many times wonder if they survive such a stressful incident. This story has a happy ending as a local passerby posted a photo he took of what appears to be the same buck in the area approximately one month later.
