ASHLAND, Ore. — A deer that lodged itself the “V” of a tree trunk is running wild once again thanks to an Oregon police officer.
The Mail Tribune reports that Ashland officer Bon Stewart was able to widen gap with a hydraulic jack, making the bole just large enough for the deer to get out.
Police Chief Tighe O’Meara says the Wednesday incident had an unusually happy ending.
He says things often end poorly for animals stuck in urban areas.
O’Meara mentioned an Ashland officer who shot and killed a deer got caught on a chain-link fence. He says the deer was injuring itself while struggling to get free.
