KWTV helicopter pilot Mason Dunn is building a reputation for himself in Oklahoma as a local hero. On Monday, Dunn rescued a calf that had gotten stuck in an icy pond. A rancher near Watonga, OK called KWTV, Oklahoma City’s CBS-affiliate, when one of his calves became stranded in the middle of a pond. The pond had a thick layer of ice on top of it and the rancher remembered that Dunn had used his KWTV chopper a few years ago to save a deer that was trapped in ice. Dunn came to the rescue, using the wind from the whirling helicopter blades to crack the ice and push the calf back to shore. KWTV
Here is the video of the rescue:
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
