F&G Officer Rescues Mule Deer Buck from Deadly Entanglement

Anonymous (not verified)

On Friday, November 6th, Fish and Game conservation officer Zac Sedlmayr received a call from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office reporting a mule deer buck caught in some irrigation wheel line cabling. When he arrived on scene, he bulldogged the buck and used wire cutters to free the exhausted deer from the cable's otherwise deadly clutches.

Hi body cam captured the entire encounter, and together with two Washington County and the local landowner, officer Sedlmayr gave the buck a new lease on life.
