The footage shows Lamb slowly approaching the deer and speaking to it softly to keep it calm.

Lamb extracts the deer's leg from the fence and the animal quickly runs away without any signs of serious injuries.

"Marshall Post trooper Lamb is the undisputed 'HERO' for rescuing a doe trapped in wire fencing," the MSP tweeted.
