A deer in B.C.’s Interior that was entangled by a toboggan was freed, thanks to help from conservation officers.
In a Twitter post on Friday, the BC Conservation Officer Service says a hiker in the Williams Lake area came across the deer, whose antlers appeared to ensnared by a toboggan.
The hiker called the provincial government’s report all poachers and polluters (RAPP) hotline to alert local conservation officers, who then sped to the scene on a snowmobile.
A short video clip shows the deer frantically trying to free itself from the toboggan.
