Fortunately for the deer, a crane truck operator was nearby and was able to assist wildlife officers in the rescue effort. The deer was sedated and placed into a “Snuggie-like” contraption before being hoisted to safety.
After being removed from harm’s way, the deer was relocated to a safer habitat. The wildlife agency Tweeted:
The deer was relocated to better habitat and hopefully had a quiet holiday weekend. #wildlife #deersnuggie #sharktankidea
