What a dummy with a good heart ! That was so unnecessarily dangerous! Use a tool! Like just holding a garbage can in the area to use as a positioner and deflector would've made this sooooo much safer!
I had a friend who had to free a deer from somethibg like that. We called him Gord. (His name was Steve but, well, Gord was more appropriate after that).
It's using a combination of the "cobra maneuver" and "thrust vectoring" to achieve that. Thrust vectoring is basically giving exhaust nauticles the ability to move and send the thrust from the engines to assist in maneuvers. The F22 and SU57 (the one in the video) have two directional thrust vectors, while the SU35 has three directional thrust vectors.
I think I'd just let it tire itself out before approaching. Most deer are phenomenally stupid, some almost approaching the idiocy level of Donald Trump.
I get rabbits in my peas- even had one with a pod before everything was stripped down to dirt. I guess I'll have to set up elevated tote planters if I want anything. Or grow indoors, my garage stays cold enough
I got great peas the first year. Then the deer discovered them. I tried all kinds of countermeasures; nothing worked. My dogs kept rabbits out of the garden, but they didn't feel any motivation to bother deer.
Nah, and if it were a survival situation, the government and society would look at it a different way. But in normal circumstances you're supposed to buy a license, and part of obtaining that license is agreeing to a certain set of rules meant to keep the animal from suffering both before and during the act of hunting it.
Step two: say softly Easy there big guy im not gonna hurt ya. Let me get this big bad net of your horns. There ya go, you are a brave buck don't ya know. Yes you are now I'm gonna point you away from me and then take the towel off ya now. Hell yeah brother! Get out there and tell your friends you smell like humans bc you attacked ICE. Does do love a deer that loves to buck up ICE. ... I may have thought too hard about this
It's a nice thought and if actual animal control sent someone competent or a game warden who might attempt a rescue but often they're so far away or understaffed they send a sheriff who is not equipped or trained and will just take out the shotgun and put it down rather than risk injury to anyone.
Most cops I have encountered in situations like this were just itching for an excuse to shoot the thing (including the rattlesnake in a bush in our front yard as a kid). For some things, animal control will do much better but in this case, I don't think any public servant is going to volunteer to go anywhere near that thing. Also, if they shoot it, free meat for them which will DEFFINITELY enter the equation.
The one time my Dad called animal control they declined to do anything. A neighbors out of control attack dog broke it's chain, dug into my parents henhouse, and started a massacre. Dad got part of it with a shotgun but it ran off and called wanting to know WTF to do next. They recommended he track and finish it off to avoid being stuck with vet bills. He did, and thankfully the dogs owner was "good riddance" about the monster he'd created.
Similar in my area. Had a pack of wild dogs. Sheriff said it is your problem if you shoot your neighbors dogs. They were not pets and were aggressive. Finally the sheriff did do something about it. The nearby landfill was a lot of the problem.
Yup. He was the sort of dirtbag who'd want a vicious attack dog. Eventually got arrested, went to jail, and lost his property for using his girlfriend as a punching bag.
Classy. I'm surprised he got jailtime instead of just a slap on the wrist fine or community service. W for the courts actually putting a scumbag away instead of letting them continue to pose a threat to the public.
He probably got jail time for dealing drugs. It was his battered half naked GF fleeing to my neighbors that got the cops called and his trailer searched.
Yea, this is ideally a 3-4+ personal job. Need two to secure it most likely. But gotta weigh the time to get help and the risk of it hurting itself further, or doing something "interesting" while not observed
In all fairness I think they did the right thing because 1) the animal would be even more stressed and/or aggressive with two large predators approaching it while trapped and 2) they have visual clues just in case that animal control needs to follow up on that animal.
Easily. My uncle had their dog somehow ended up hanging itself from a tree when they left it on a line while in the yard when they went out for dinner. Was my uncle's last dog and the family was afraid to put the clothes line out unattended after. Panicking people and animals will find the most improbable ways to at least hurt themselves. Could easily see spinal fracture or distractions occurring from this. Broken legs, blood pooling etc. Etc.

What an unusual situation to find yourself in.

For a deer? Not really, they manage to get tangled in all sorts of thing. Usually the twisted remains of cars.

I'd let it wear it wear itself out first before approaching. I'm not getting gored because deer are dumb as rocks.

As a deer furry I wanna object, but multiple days in a row now I keep forgetting to eat before I get shakey, so I don't really have a foot to stand on

Then you're probably not part of the gang who discovered my pea garden. You'd be fat.

I get rabbits in my peas- even had one with a pod before everything was stripped down to dirt. I guess I'll have to set up elevated tote planters if I want anything. Or grow indoors, my garage stays cold enough

To reiterate: dumb deer
FoxyEllie
As a regular human non-furry, I just call that adhd, so you can leave your tribe out of it if you like
Kehy
Given the prevalence of autism, ADHD, and AuADHD within the furry community (among other things) it's a pretty common experience for furries.
kousaroe
You just reminded me to eat. It's almost 2:00 p.m. and I've forgotten to all day

together, we can sometimes remember to have a bowl of cereal
NoNoNodontstoparockin
Was anyone else thinking about shooting & eating the animal ?
somebackup
Yes, but you can save the bullet tbh
IntelligentLake
The stress and adrenaline could affect the meat if it isn't prepared properly. So its not worth it.
horsesareevil
sometimes the meat hangs itself up in your backyard...
Colopty
That's not very sporting when it's stuck like that.
YoureWaifuAShit

Hunting has a long history as a field sport and consequently gets a lot of culture and vocabulary from that kind of usage attached to it.

You're not going to "hold down" a frightened buck. Grown adults can barely contain large dogs when they're excited.

Junktrunkjunkie
Or lacking that many people at least some animal tranquilizer to put it to sleep while you free it.
eetsumkaus
well the amount of personal danger you'll put yourself in to save the animal is another consideration I imagine.
picselator
I've had a similar situation a few years back and they took three hours to reach my cabin. I gave up waiting after half hour.

I'm sure waiting for 30 minutes must've been exhausting.

would an animal like that die in 3 hours?

Extremely likely. Stress is a hell of a drug.

Broken neck, broken something that gets it killed anyways, if animals get em, a heart attack. If it was calm I dont see why not.
