If you know a boring or utility contractor maybe they will give you some of the flat nylon rope they use to blow through tubes and then pull the fiber back. Once it is used you can get it by the garbage bag full here and it's quite stout. I keep a lengthy piece in the barn for just such a scenario as you have encountered Harold and I have used it, what a life saver. You might need a tractor or your truck to pull em out though. An ATV will not do it if there's much distance and verticality, a gas UTV might, an electric UTV probably will. It takes a lot of torque to get all the stretch out of the line and then pull the animal up. The Ranger or Bad Boy type EV will get the job done, forget the Gator. Ask me how I know  Congrats on your buck !
