The dashcam video shows the officer and deputy lifting the deer's back legs to allow it to get itself the rest of the way over the fence.

"Once released, the deer was then able to jump back over the fence and continue up the hill near the Boscobel Cemetery. The deer appeared to be uninjured," the post said.
