One of the greatest "deer saves" ever
 

A very clever helicopter pilot manages to rescue a deer stuck on the ice, by using the down-draft of the chopper to literally blow the animals out of danger.

That is simply awesome!

I've seen, or read about, helicopter pilots doing some amazing things over the years. This is one of them.

And here I came with the banhammer all ready to smash. :stare:

I object to the thread name!!
Here I am 800+ miles from home and I get a Deer and helocopter feed?
WTH?

It looked injured and I had this vision of it running away free and proud into the sight of a hunter's rifle. Sorry, it's a curse of mine. I find it a wonder the animal didn't just die of fright during that ride.

That took some fairly good flying skills.


Honestly I think that most animals can sense when they are being helped.

I recall once while I was stationed in Germany we found a deer that had gotten tangled on and old perimeter fence on the base.This deer had been stuck for at least several hours and you could see that it was exhausted.This was in a secluded corner of the base so no one had noticed that the deer was stuck.

I discussed the situation with the person riding in the truck with me and we decided to try and get the deer free ourselves.We took out a pair of wire cutters and started clipping the lines and the deer just sat there I guess some how it knew that we where not going do any harm.When we cut him free he just sat there for a second and then bounded away.

That deer would've made a nice supper....

Some fantastic piloting skills there, and a brilliant solution to the problem. Major kudos to the pilot. :salute:

^ This .. for every gallant man to rescue an animal there are thousands who kill them for fun, and ten thousands who don't care at all ..

Deer Chili, Deer Tacos, Deer Sausage, (Insert long list of deer products like Bubba in Forrest Gump)

Deer meat tastes good. :yeah:

Only if cooked properly.
My idea of a deer save is you hit with your pick-up truck, then pick it up, take it home, clean it, cook it, then eat it. :shucks:

I never much liked deer meat, cept the loin and ribs. I do mix deer hamburger about 50/50.

Myself, why some would consider that heroic, I think it was stupid risking your life and helo to save a deer.

Most definitely :sunny:

you can put my name on both lists

i kill em for sport, fun, because im a mean jerk, and its good eatin'

also, i have saved more road side kittehs and puppehs and swerved to miss more snakes and squirrels etc than i care to think about
