Farmers Jim Burrows and Richard Gorman found the deer on Gorman's Awatere Valley property last Sunday.
Burrows said he and Gorman weren't in danger when they freed the animals, explaining the pair "went and got some wire cutters
and let them go".
The animals were "just really scared", he told Fairfax Media.
