Video: Ohio Police Rescue Two Bucks from Cistern
OutdoorHub Reporters 11.24.15
If you believe in Murphy’s Law, then you’ll already know that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. When this includes leaving a cistern full of old, bitter water, we can expect that eventually something will fall in it. In this case, that happened to be not one, but two bucks.
Officers of the Wickliffe Police Department in Ohio were called to perform a very careful extraction of the two deer.
“This video is from November 10, 2015 at about 4:30 pm,” the police department wrote on Facebook. “Two patrol officers were able to pull two deer free from a cistern full of bitter cold water located in a wooded area near Interstate 90 and Bishop Road. An area resident filmed the event and passed the footage on to us. We thought we would share it as it highlights some of the more unusual things an officer is called to do. Not much else to say as the video speaks for itself, but I should mention that the cistern has since been covered and is no longer a hazard.”
