Erie County
Distressed Wildlife Complaint:
At 3 p.m., Ranger John Kennedy was contacted by a Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve volunteer informing him that two male deer were entangled by their antlers and unable to free themselves. Ranger Kennedy notified ECO Scott Marshall for assistance. As Ranger Kennedy arrived on scene, he spotted six people with cameras taking photos of the two bucks. To ensure the bystanders' safety, Ranger Kennedy advised the onlookers to back away to a safe distance. The two bucks were both standing and moving left to right trying to free themselves, but to no avail. With the aid of a reach pole, the officers separated the two animals. Although exhausted, both deer ran away in opposite directions and appeared to be in good health.
