Three men stopped to save the day for a deer in trouble and caught the whole event on camera.

The group of men in Twilight, West Virginia, spotted the deer chest-high in thick gray mud.

Using tools and rope, they worked until they were finally able to free the long-legged creature.

Using tools and rope, they worked until they were finally able to free the long-legged creature

The video begins with the deer appearing exhausted, deep in the mud as the men try and figure out their game plan to free it.

One man sticks his hand deep into the mud and wraps a rope around the deer’s torso in order to pull it out with the help of his friends.

Once he pulls his arm out from under the deer, the man shakes off a large wad of mud that has stuck to his hand and arm.

The man pats the deer on the head in an attempt to calm it while the other men work to angle the rope and how they’ll pull.

As the men give a small tug the dear gets nervous and begins to make distressed sounds and grunts.

‘It’s gonna hurt like a b**** but you’re gonna come out of here,’ one man tells the deer.

The deer then makes a ferocious bray and the men back away but hold on to the rope.

‘You’re fine! Let me help you out,’ one of the men says.

‘You got to dig its  legs out,’ one man says to another.

The man replies: ‘I’m gonna pull it straight up.’

Finally, the deer’s front legs come free and after a few tugs the men were able to free the animal’s back legs

The deer groans again and the men strain with effort.

Finally, the deer’s spindly front legs emerge from the mud.

With the front legs free the men shift the rope down to the deer’s midsection and pull again hoping to free its back legs.

The tactic works and with a few more pulls the deer comes free.

Exhausted, it scampers away, stopping for a moment to look back at the men who saved its life before it runs off.
