Man Saves Deer Stranded in Frozen Reservoir, Rescue on Video

Props to this man who saved this poor deer stranded on a frozen reservoir … with the daring rescue caught on video.

Gil Lencour was heading home for a lunch break Tuesday in Wisconsin Rapids when he noticed the deer struggling in the middle of a frozen reservoir. The quick-thinking dude zoomed home to grab a leash and called a buddy for an assist.

Gil says when he got to the deer it was clear the leash wouldn’t do the trick. his backup plan was the ol’ heave ho … pushing the deer as it glided to solid ground.  The deer suffers from bad manners — it did not turn around to say “Thanks” before scampering into the woods.

Gil’s buddy, John Moss, began recording after it became apparent John had the situation under control.
