New Zealand Deer Lift - Part 1

0.01 / Jan / 1983•24m

Jim Fowler joins in the airlifting of the overly abundant red deer by helicopter out of an area so dense that choppers can't land. A dart-gun is used which tranquilize and at the same time attaches a tiny radio telemetry transmitter to the animal for tracking purposes. The deer is placed in a canvas bag and lifted to a large boat in a fjord nearby.
