Deer Rescue

Mathew rescues deer from ice covered lake in Northern Ontario

"I was on the jobsite one morning and Andy and Bob had noticed Lil' Icebreaker out on the half frozen lake, half way broken through. We called 911 but was told they wouldnt do anything about and that they would see if the wild life sanctuary would come rescue it. The volunteer fire rescue from Mckellar came out to help save the deer. So we borrowed the customer's boat (they'll know soon enough ;D ) and went about sliding it on the ice to the deer. Roped the deer and pulled the boat approx 800 feet to shore. Lil' Icebreaker was very happy to be off the ice. What an awesome adventure!"

  2. Hey Matt, we are very proud of you here at The Pipe and Slipper. This is the kind of thing that real men do and are remembered for. Don't forget to write back and ask Forest a question. He stands ready.
