An eagle in Minnesota is recovering after an Army vet used his sharpshooting skills to free the bird from a perilous plight.
The eagle was found hanging upside down in a tree near Rush City Thursday, according to KARE-TV. Its leg had gotten caught in a piece of rope, wrapped around a branch, about 75 feet off the ground.
The vet, Jason Galvin, was able to free the bird after firing 150 shots at the rope with a .22-caliber rifle. Galvin served two tours in Afghanistan.
