Trapped DEER given a helping hand to freedom

Simon recently received a call from a friend, who'd been contacted about a deer trapped in a garden. The deer, having paced up and down the fence line for 3 days, without successfully scaling the 6ft fence, appeared to be in distress. We don't often intervene in situations like this, however, with the deer becoming increasingly stressed, we arrived to give her a helping hand.

This was not an easy rescue. Hats off to Jacob and Lawrie who handled the deer so gently.

[@patriciakunz1198]

What wonderful patience and care from Wildlife Aid team and the concerned house owners.

[@patpierce4854]

So glad that deer wasn’t injured - just stuck away from its home. Thank you for your care in rescuing it!

[@BillySugger1965]

Thank goodness for expendable young team mates. Well done Jacob and Lawrie!

[@robinz2000]

So true! So true!🤣

[@TheInfinityMaster1]

I like it when Simon *sarcastically* threatens the people who called Wildlife Aid with massive bills if he doesn't find an animal to be rescued when arriving to the location! xD

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

:) This conversation reminded of an old saying (and I just love old sayings), "Whether you think you can or think you can't - you're right!" :)

Smart, first sending the expendables in to scout! :D Good job on the rescue 🙂

[@enigel1969]

One would have thought that a deer is easy to spot. The things I learn from you every day! BTW, those people have some seriously beautiful gardens.

[@franksmith7247]

I know, right?

[@sunburstisland2560]

People tend to be amazed at how naturally camouflaged a lot of wild animals are.

[@Vasharan]

That is only true for spotted deer. You never see the ones you don't spot.

[@elsaboukehili8404]

Despite its strong emotions, it's beautiful to see this poor deer trotting away to freedom.

[@lisacasoli]

What nice concerned home owners for calling you glad you could help her

[@wildlifeaid]

They were lovely people and very concerned for the deer's welfare

[@janetturner7489]

Excellent teamwork here, that's why you were able to help the deer back home. She was a beautiful animal.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much :)

[@missykim510]

Awe, what a cutie patootie deer ^_^ They make the strangest noises. I don't know what I was expecting a deer to sound like, but it's not that, like someone sat on a seagull. Great rescue as always! You make it look easy.

[@angeljamais8541]

I am sooooo stealing your definition of their sounds, LOL!!!

[@murielvaillancourt3855]

You are so funny and very truly descriptive! Hello from Quebec, Canada, with -37C and a lot of snow!

Wild deer chase just doesn't have the same ring to it. Nice job on encouraging her to go home.

Thanks Wildlife Aid team 👍

[@darrenifyouask]

There’s so much you lot are doing, that gets overlooked. The news need to promote this

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you

[@01Thal]

Hollywood should to a movie about this rather then superhero movies and you could dress in spandex and call out "Wildlife assemble" before tackling your worst foe, a trapped deer!

[@coolmikefromcanada]

oh the scared cries are so heart breaking, i'm glad it was a quick release

[@wildlifeaid]

The sound of a deer in distress is awful. We always try to minimise contact and get rescues done as quickly as possible to reduce the stress on them.

[@dnaeripersonal]

Deer are my favorite animal. I know they’re super difficult and dangerous to rescue and I really appreciate the work you all do, thank you. ❤️

How lovely that u went back there, taking the gentleman's word for it... very kind, really. TYSM as always

[@SceneArtisan]

Imagine,.. Simon et al all had trouble navigating those gardens and their average height is I'd guess about 6',.. a deer is considerably shorter and most likely found those gardens so disorienting, like trying to navigate a complicated maze.

That's a very gentlemanly greeting, lovely chap!

Haha, it does indeed!

[@ScrappyCoCo0]

In the thumbnail it 100% looked like a kangaroo.

[@OutnBacker]

hmmmm..... not sure what a cheap machete costs in the UK, but from the looks of the palaces in that neighborhood, I'm betting one could have been had pretty cheap. Would have made short work of that bramble patch. And best - or worst - of all, it would have been back within a season.

[@shelleybleu4903]

What is with all those fences?

[@silke4543]

I saw the video thumbnail and was wondering where you found the kangaroo😅

[@wildlifeaid]

It certainly does look like one in the thumbnail, doesn't it!
