old'un Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Well done, over the years I have seen a couple of deer (Roe) trapped by wire, each time they went berserk when we got close to them, I am amazed at how calm that deer is. Its unbelievable the amount of rubbish dumped in woods and pit holes by land owners, had a few injures to dogs over the years from old barbed wire and metal dumped in woods and pit holes.

Walker570 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Well done that man, how lucky you dropped that bird just here or the outcome could have been very diferent. Yes and fencers still insist in putting two strands six inches or so apart on the top run. Had my GSP get twisted once and it was the only time he ever bit me, but he was hurting. Fortunately no lasting damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) One very lucky deer , or unlucky if you think how it got in that predicament in the first place . Another case of being in the right place at the right time . Edited April 11, 2019 by marsh man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dad Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Yes it was the top 2 wires the top one quite thick we couldnt prize them apart with branches we had to cut the top one. No idea how long he was there quite a remote place too probably would have died .soon as the top wire gave he was off with a limp.we were worried about those antlers catching us but he was calm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
