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.
