Reminds me I once freed a harrier hawk with a leg caught in an electric fence. It was remarkably docile while I worked to separate ths wires to get the leg out. Once it realised it was unrestrained it wasted no time flying off. I felt good about that one.

A workmate years ago found a stag with a single loop of supplejack around a rear leg and managed to make a couple of pics to prove it. he had been up there a few weeks before and knew there was one in there.
he found it but not the way he would've liked. Much the same as the first pic, it was stretched right out and the ground really beaten up as he had been struggling to push forward as much as he could. just unlucky he had kept enough tension on it to keep it a loop.

The HeliRural Methven team freed a fallow buck the other week they saw tangled up in some tussock as they were flying along.

Poor bastards , also amazing how many eventually free themselves of the hooked up leg and heal up and survive with 3 legs
