Stuck Buck Freed After Shot From Taser

ANBY, Ore. — Confronted with a deer whose antlers were tangled in a rope swing at a rural home, two officers saw no good choices.

They weren't about to try to free the animal themselves. It weighed several hundred pounds and was thrashing wildly.

A bullet in the skull seemed the alternative.

"They thought they were going to have to kill it out of compassion," Lt. Jim Strovink of the Clackamas County sheriff's office said Wednesday. "It was going to die a slow, agonizing death."

Then Deputy Jeff Miller thought of the stun gun used to immobilize out-of-control prisoners or suspects.

Zap!

The deer stopped moving.

The officers, one a sheriff's deputy, the other a state trooper, untangled the rope, which was dangling from a tree limb, and freed the buck.

Not long after, the deer "took off happy as a clam," Strovink said. "That was pretty good thinking."
