I once cut the top wire on a guys fence to get an 8 point buck untangled out of the wire, the buck was hung up, but not torn up yet, I cut the wire the buck fell to the ground jumped up and ran off, then I fixed the top wire, right after that the owner showed up, I'd taken a picture of the deer. The guy was so happy I had fixed the fence he told me I could cut a deer off of his fence anytime lol. It never crossed my mind to leave a hole in the guys fence. I once saw a lady hit our fence and she swore up and down that she didn't do it. She got off Scott Free and I got to fix the fence.
