Dash cam video shows Texas game warden rescuing two 'locked up' bucks

Talk about getting caught in an awkward situation. Two Texas whitetail bucks not only got their antlers tangled together with rope, they also managed to wrap themselves around a metal pole in a video posted on YouTube by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department earlier this week.

It took the efforts of a TPWD game warden in Comal County, near San Antonio, to free them using his truck as a barrier between him and their thrashing legs.

"We got a call from a resident in the neighborhood out by Canyon Lake about two bucks had their antlers together, thrashing around in his yard," said warden Michael McCall. "When I came out I found that they were entangled in that nylon rope, as I was watching them they got tangled round the clothes pole."

TPWD posted the McCall's dash cam recording of it all online Monday. It shows the two bucks with their antlers wrapped in the rope, struggling as they try to free themselves from it and the pole.

"It was a real stroke of luck that they got caught around the pole, that meant they were in a stationary position," McCall said. "I certainly wouldn't have approached them otherwise."

Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Wardens were called out after two bucks got "locked up" and caught around a metal pole. The deers horns were tangled together with what appears to be a nylon rope.

Viewers can clearly see as McCall climbs up over his truck to get to the animals to try to help.

"Come on guys, help me out here," the warden is heard to say as the bucks fail to pull the rope in two. It takes several attempts for him to cut them clear with a large knife.

It's unclear how long the two had been stuck in their interesting predicament, but they sure were glad to be free. Both headed out at full speed back into the wild.
