Mule Deer VS. Hammock

This buck got lucky.

The deer isn’t the only lucky one here.  Every person that untangled this buck  could have been seriously injured.

Deer and other wildlife can get caught or hurt on things you would never imagine could cause harm, and It happens more often than you might think.

When i was fighting forest fire near Fossil, Oregon i came upon a buck much bigger than the one in the video. From a distance i could tell  there was something wrong with his antlers so i got out my binoculars to get a better look. I couldn’t believe what i was seeing. The bucks  antlers were  wrapped up in a tangle of Barbwire from a fence. He must have put up a hell of a fight to get the wire to break free. Lucky for him he would only have to carry around his extra hardware a couple more months before he shed his antlers for the winter.
