It’s not unheard of for two bucks to be seen with their antlers locked together after a battle. Tales have even been told of hunters rescuing a live deer locked with a dead one. But what is a little more odd is when two deer get locked not by their antlers, but by something else. In the case of the video below, that “something else” was a nylon rope, and the two deer needed the help of a Texas game warden.

Nice ....l
Good job, and dangerous. There is another video of someone putting a ladder in a dumpster to let some bear cubs climb out while the sow watched.
What’s with the “patriotsoutdoorsnews” middleman?
Yep I have seen that one .....awesome !!
Stay Safe !!
A better job would be putting them in the freezer.
Yay!!! They get to live another day...To be shot by a hunter
Are you against hunting?
Having a bad morning? Everyone dies of something eventually. Should others not help you out of a difficult situation because someday you’ll get cancer and die anyway?
I have nothing against hunting., I know deer are overrunning some states and need to be thinned out
I for one am getting tired of the damage these rats with antlers are doing to my landscaping. I fish, but do not hunt, but I am getting close to making an example of one these critters. Seeing the carcass of one their cousins just might make them think twice before visiting again.
Okay, thanks.

Sorry, but I do not think they are that bright.
There are a lot of strategies you can find online, though, for fending off the beasts.
One of my chief filters in searching for plants to use in my yard is “deer resistant”.
Thanks. Strategy works for squirrels though. This is the first season I have had pears in about 5 years.
How did you keep the rats with furry tails from eating your pears? You mean you made an example of one?
Yep, picked one off with a pellet rifle in July. Got my ladder out and tied him by his tail to one of the higher branches I could get to. He dried out in a few weeks, and was flapping in the breeze, and not another bushy tailed rat bothered my pairs.
Kind of macabre, but I was getting frustrated.
Deer blood is a great fertilize and will warn the other deer, "something bad happened here."
Good solution.
Interestingly, there was a carcass used for a problem that a nearby town had with turkey vultures about 5 or 6 years ago. The repulsive beasts had taken to roosting in a grove of trees on a small plot of land. People were disgusted with their droppings on the sidewalks, but state law prohibits harming them. Fortunately, some old farmer knew the answer. One of the vultures had apparently been hit by a car on one of the county roads, and he suggested the town hang its carcass in the grove of trees. Problem solved. The birds have not returned to that spot.
I seriously don’t think deer would “get it”, though. But I certainly have no knowledge just a hunch. Betting that one of the many hunters on FR could tell you.
BTW, how come the deer don’t bother your pears?
