Deer Drag Drama

Not That Mike The Other Mike
A man in a bright yellow work suit places a red rope around the belly of a deer trapped on a frozen lake.

A poor deer had a drag of a day after wandering too far across a frozen lake, but a daring and determined rescuer brought a lifeline. (via Dana D.; See the full rescue on YouTube)

    Hearing a deer scream is always so disconcerting. Poor thing..

      I’m not even going to watch it because I don’t think I could handle hearing that, even knowing the outcome was good. It’s bad enough when I catch the fawns on my game came, calling for their mama. It kinda sounds like a broken squeaky toy.

        You just don’t think of deer making noises… it was like “why is this human holding me down..? oh, wait, we’re moving toward the shore, okay…”

    I didn’t like to hear her scream but I loved that she stopped when she realized that they were pulling her back to the shore.

    I’m sorry we didn’t get to see her standing and free
