Tangled bucks separated

Teamwork separates two tangled bucks

On day one of the MEA break, Minnesota Conservation Officer Mike Gruhlke (Jackson) returned a call from Babbitt, MN police chief Chad Loewen who was hunting pheasants in the Delft, MN area with his two sons and wife. They had encountered an eight point and a ten point buck tangled up by their antlers. The Loewen family made attempts to free the animals with sticks that they found in the area, but because the sticks weren’t rigid enough nor long enough, they couldn’t get the leverage they needed to complete the task. Later in the afternoon Gruhlke responded to the area, with a two piece ice chisel and a canoe paddle. With those two tools the Loewens and Gruhlke went to see if they could help the two bucks. After a short search the deer were found, still tangled, but nearly exhausted. They all worked cautiously at separating the two deer. When the antlers were pried apart, almost immediately the ten pointer jumped to his “feet” and left the area. After approximately 20 minutes the eight pointer got up and ran away too.
