I agree with ringing a coot's neck.
I had a similar experience with a doe hanging by her hind legs in a fence about 20 years ago. Her hind legs went between the two top strands of barb wire on a fence that was about 6' high. The best I could tell, she didn't have any broken legs. And, it was almost as if she knew I was going to help her. She didn't fight at all until I bear hugged her to lift her out of the fence. She didn't waste any time thanking me after she was free.
