Here's the full video where she was able to free this doe from a sticky predicament.

If you think trying to help a deer like this isn't risky, think again. A frightened doe or buck can kick you hard enough to break your leg.

This woman did the right thing by helping free the animal as it probably would not have been able to get free of the jug on its own.

Well done, Good Samaritan Sullivan, Illinois lady.
