A whitetail deer got a new lease on life when a crew from Atlantis Dive & Dock Salvage grabbed it by its antlers in the main channel of the Lake of the Ozarks.

Marc Diebold says he and the Atlantis crew happened to be boating in the area when they spotted the 8-point buck “pretty much swimming in circles” out in the middle of the Lake.

It turns out, the deer had been entangled in a fence earlier that day and a group of men building a deck nearby helped free it.

Once freed, the buck ran headlong into the Lake.

The deer’s injuries from the fence didn’t appear to be life-threatening. But the rescue happened in the height of deer hunting season at the Lake, so a local hunter may be the one who owes the Atlantis crew a thank-you.
