The Iron County in Utah took its official Facebook handle as they shared a video of a rescue mission where two officers are trying to free a deer who is stuck in a hammock. DWR Officer Kody Jones and ICSO Deputy Dustin Roy struggled their way to rescue the deer and at the end the deer got aggressive and ended up attacking one of them. The department uses a very apt caption to explain the scenario as it wrote, “ It's all fun and games until the deer charges you”. 

Deer rescued by officers gets aggressive

The 2 minutes 19 seconds long video begins with the officers trying to get rid of the hammock stuck in the deer’s antlers. After a few attempts, they managed to cut the wires and free the deer. However, instead of running away freely, the deer gets all aggressive and tries to charge one of those officers. The deer can be seen running behind the officer and trying to scoop him with his antlers. The officer skillfully manages the situation and he spontaneously grabs the deer from his antlers so that he is unable to move. “Grab that jacket real quick and cover his face back up”, we hear one of the officers saying trying to get away from the deer. In the end we see one of the officers get a metal rod and scare the deer away. The deer can be seen looking towards them but he is standing still.
