DANIEL, Wyo.
– Two Wyoming sheriff’s deputies recently channeled their inner
cowboy and lassoed a deer flailing in a frigid pond after it fell through thin
ice.
Sublette
County sheriff’s Deputies Justin Hays and Joshua Peterson responded to a report
Dec. 10 that a deer had fallen into a pond near the small ranching town of
Daniel in southwestern Wyoming.
Because the
ice was too thin to walk on, they lassoed the deer and pulled it to shore. They
left the deer on a nearby driveway where it could warm up, and it was gone a
few hours later.
