Rescuing Tangled Critters

Crosslake DNR Conservation Officer Nikki Shoutz received a half dozen calls recently about a loon on the Whitefish Chain that became entangled in fishing line  and was trailing a bobber.  She tells KLKS News, sometimes they can help the critter, and sometimes they can't.  Catching diving loons is nearly impossible, but helping an eagle with a broken wing can result in success.  The Garrison Animal Clinic does treat wild animals.

Shoutz says, unfortunately, sometimes the best advice is to let nature take its course.
