Bestul: Helicopters and Ice Skating Deer
It’s rare for a winter to pass without some word of a whitetail stuck on ice, and it’s easy to see how that situation occurs. Many frozen waterways offer deer comparatively easy travel to the deep snows found on shore. Some whitetails surely run onto ice to avoid predators, and of course deer are no different than any critter (or human) in their ability to just make the occasional stupid mistake and walk where they shouldn’t.
Of course most ice-bound deer are not seen by people and must either find their own way to sure footing or die. But each year a handful are spotted by passersby, many who decide that the “Nature must take its course” option is not acceptable. Rescues occur and the deer live to confront other survival challenges.
Naturally, getting a wild whitetail off the ice is no easy task, and the photos and stories that accompany these rescues often involve a lot of rope, a panicked deer and bunch of mayhem. But if you want to see a slick, seconds-to-safety whitetail roundup, check out this video. Some pretty ingenious maneuvering by a chopper pilot who gave a young deer another shot at life.

Ahh, "I love it when a plan comes together!"

Human ingenuity at it's finest!
Handy as a Swiss Army Knife, BY'GOLLY!!
Way to be creative.
I have had to try to "rescue" deer on the ice before and I didn't have access to that fine tool. Mine never seem to go quite that smooth . I couldn't explain to people to let nature take it course. The "good" people just wanted to save the poor deer. Great job.
Ya know what? I think it was just frozen!
