Anyone see this video on MSM. Happened on August 29th in Tamaqua, Pa. Couple fellas would not give up on this eight pointer. Truly amazing.

Wondered if one of you fellas could provide a link to video? Thank you. ------------------------Ray

    Okie, I cut a fawn out of barb wire about 10 years ago . Never would have known he was there but he cried so pitiful. --------------Ray

    Great story, thanks for posting.

    I watched a fawn run across a road after mom and it tried to run through an iron bar fence and it got stuck at the hips.

    First thought was better not mess with those feet....

    Went and got the jack out of the lease car and used it to good effect to spread the bars and release the deer.

    Felt good to help out.

    That was really uplifting to watch.......

    My buddy and I cut a small buck out of a wire fence about 30 years ago. It had some how got one antler through an opening in the fence and got all tangled up...The buck was pretty worn out when we came across it. I was on the land of a good friend and knew he would be fine with cutting the fence enough to get him loose. We were out putting up stands so we had some wire cutter in the tool box.

    My buddy threw his shirt over the buck's eyes and tied the front legs so it could not stand up. He held the rack and I cut the fence and pushed him through. The buck just laid there and we got the legs untied and backed up. He finally stood up and scampered off toward the creek where it took a drink and then headed off into the woods. We fixed the fence and headed out...

    Not sure if he made it through the hunting season a few weeks later, but we did not see him..... This was before we all had camera and cellphones or I would be posting a PIC !!

    I freed a fawn from a jumble of pig wire about 10 years ago as well.

    Ungrateful little bass turd opened up a 6" slice down my arm with a rear hoof.

    It went into hiding under a neighbor's porch, and momma came down 2 - 3 hours later to reclaim it.

    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    My Uncle came across a buck with his head caught in the fence. Whacked him on the head with a heavy coke bottle. Took him home and ate him. Don

    A lot of good people well change that really a lot of great people that make up the vast majority of us . Good on them for there kindness and toll of you

    I am sure manyofyouhave helped do a lot of good things for others and animinals but just go on about your life not bragging. It's just being a good person

    even if only you know it's still a nice feeling to know you made a difference

    It may have not been some great thing or maybe it was but inside we allstill have that little feeling of doing something nice


    But sadly the news only makes its payroll focused on bad of society and keeps the pot stired.

    No money to be made showing all the good deeds and neighbors helping neighbors .

    Thanks for posting

    Way more good folks than bad but the good don't make good headline news.

    Hate and evil draws a crowd every time.
