Game Warden's Quick Thinking Helps Free Deer Caught In Netting

PHILADELPHIA (KDKA) - A game warden's perfectly placed shot freed a buck who had become caught in some netting near Philadelphia.

Game Warden Ryan Zawada didn't think that a tranquilizer would be safe so he came up with an alternative.

He grabbed his shotgun and fired a single round which broke the buck's antler and freed him.

From there, the buck ran off, unharmed, leaving its antler wrapped up in the netting.
