The firefighters who are employed by the Savannah Fire Department answered a plea for help from a concerned citizen who reported to the authorities on Sunday afternoon that a deer was trapped in a soccer net at the Jennifer Ross Sports Complex. The firefighters used their rescue skills to cut the net that tangled the antlers and neck of the deer who would have been in serious trouble had the firefighters not been able to free the deer from the trouble he or she was in by being trapped in a soccer goal net. After the deer was released from the soccer net trap, the deer managed to leave the field walked away to his or her home grateful to be free at last.

You are right about the deer learning to stay away from being near a soccer goal net from now on.

A deer caught in a soccer net would never be able to free itself.

I agree with you. It would be a shame that the deer would be stuck in a soccer goal net.
