Wild deer force me to get back (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redeem

'get back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wild deer force me' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'force' is an anagram indicator (letters must be forced into a new order).
'deer' is an anagram of 'rede'.
'me' is an anagram of 'em'.
'rede'+'em'='REDEEM'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for redeem that I've seen before include "Make amends (for)" , "Save from damnation or pay back loan" , "Buy back; absolve" , "Regain possession in exchange for money" , "Pay off loans or promissory notes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
