According to the footage, a man is seen climbing down the well using its wall cavity. Later, it shows two people lassoing an animal.

Subsequent clips show people pulling out the animal in what is later seen as a swamp deer. The men in the video are heard saying to one another about taking extra care while pulling the deer out of the well.
