Game Warden Frees Entangled Deer

 

A county game warden separates two entangled bucks in eastern Kansas.

 

According to Kansas Wildlife and Parks, Franklin County Game Warden Ryan Twellmann responded to a farm near Rantoul over the weekend, which is between Ottawa and Osawatomie, after a landowner reported seeing two whitetail deer with their antlers locked together. Twellmann found the entangled bucks near the reported location. One buck was still alive, but the other buck had unfortunately already died. Using a shotgun and a slug round, Twellmann was able to separate the antlers and free the buck from the entanglement. The buck immediately ran off unharmed and a salvage tag was issued to the landowner for the dead buck.
