The HOT Report - January 2007

Oh 'Deer'! Helicoptor Blows Deer to Safety - All While Cameras Roll

January 21st 2007 18:29

'thanks for helping, buddy'

A TV helicopter pilot decided recording the news wasn't going to be enough - he just had to do something - to help a stranded deer get back on its quivering legs.

The frightened deer had lost its footing on an icy frozen lake in Oklahoma last Wednesday and the poor little guy just couldn't get back on his hooves.

A helicopter pilot for KWTV used the powerful air gusts generated by his aircraft's blades to blow the deer off the ice, all while his cameras rolled. The hoofed animal glided on his stomach to shore where he was able to get up on shaky legs and eventually scamper away.

It's such a heartwarming and cute video!

Good- we need to help breed more deer that can't get their footing back on their own. The deer population has surged in many areas where ranchers haev decimated the predators that would usually balance them out, and in some areas deer are becoming a bit more than a nuisance. My brother had to get some work done on his car just last month when a deer decided to get into his back seat through the windshield. My brother was okay, but while the deer was spared the degree of damage we see when bugs spatter on the windshield, it definitely left quite a bit of tissue behind as it staggered off.

hi Francis,

Glad your brother was OK.
We have the same problem in Alberta too: I know many people who have hit deers on the highways. Luckily, they were ok, can't say the same for those deer, though.

Some drivers are trying a transmitter that puts out high frequency sounds that we can't hear but scares deer away from your vehicle.

Hey KylieW,

Wouldn't it be too much if you could raise a fawn? You'd feed the little guy with a big baby's bottle and give him oddles of hugs!
