Officer, Could You Spare A Buck?

Spare a buck, hey? Two police officers in Oregon did – literally. Thinking outside the square, they used technology for the challenge. A blast from their Taser stun gun stunned a deer long enough for officers to free the animal's antlers from a rope swing. They weren't about to try to free the animal themselves. It weighed several hundred pounds and was thrashing wildly. But if they left it alone, the deputies feared it would die a slow death. At first, they thought they might have to kill it out of compassion. Then one of them thought of the stun guns they use to immobilize out-of-control prisoners. They zapped the deer, which stopped moving, according to wfmynews2.com. The officers then distangled the rope and freed the deer which took off "happy as a clam," as the sheriff's office put it.
