The deer was tranquilized and then examined while still in the hole.
CPW said the deer was luckily uninjured and with the help of the SEMA Construction crew, the young male was lifted out of the hole.
After waking up, the deer was back on its way and hopefully learned to steer clear of construction sites in the future.
