get the stag

While running at such an enormous speed he entered a dense wood with trees and bushes which grew very closely together. His beautiful large branching antlers were caught in the bushes and he was forced to stop. He was held fast and could not stir. The nearer the hunters came, the harder he tried to free himself. But all in vain. Soon the hunters arrived. Now they could get him and kill him without any efforts.

What does the "get" mean here?

Please explain it. [Is this "caught" here?]
