Last year we had a really nice 10 point get his antlers twisted up in a strand of barb wire...not sure exactly how he did it...must have been hooking the fence or something. Anyway, he had the barb wire broken on one end and the other end was still connected to the fence but he had pulled it free from 4 or 5 posts. I don't know how long he was caught up but it must not have been too long because he still had plenty of "spunk". Well I got as close as I dared and cut the wire and he took off like a scalded ape! after that I was hunting him because I thought it would make a fine mount with that wire twisted on his horns but I never saw him again.
