A small thing, but...

Deer frees itself from Halloween bucket

The yearling buck had been running around for several days looking thinner and thinner with a Halloween pumpkin bucket caught on its ears or horn buds and covering its snout like a feed bag. Rescuers were trying to trank him without success. Many thought his hope for survival was low. Last night some children found the plastic pumpkin in their yard, and a thin deer was seen running free. Of course, it's deer season in Michigan, so he still has that to face, but hopefully a young deer who is on the thin side and without a rack will be considered beneath the notice of hunters.
