08/25/2013 - Just before noontime on the afternoon of Sunday, August 25, 2013 the Marshfield Fire Department requested the response of the Plymouth County Technical Rescue Team for a deer that was stuck in mud at 261 Rear Old Ocean Street. Crews brought in approximately 15 sheets of plywood to use as solid ground, as the mud was very thick and it was not possible for rescuers to walk through it. Two small boats belonging to the homeowner were used to gain access to the deer. Members from the Animal Rescue League of Boston and PCTR secured the young deer to that it could be brought back to the shore. Once the animal was secured in the boat, members of PCTR hauled a haul line connected to the boat and brought the deer to shore. Approximately 12-members from the Plymouth County Technical Rescue Team that were specially trained in large animal rescue responded to the scene to assist. Due to the severity of the injuries the deer suffered it needed to be euthanized shortly after being transported to a local veterinary clinic.
