Department of Fish and Wildlife Officers See Green Tangle in Buck’s Antlers, Know They Need to Dart Him

The 🌲Oregon Department of Fish and 🦌Wildlife staff got an unusual call from the Dallas, 🌲Oregon, police department in early December when a festive buck was trotting through a residential area.

The buck apparently had crashed through a homeowner’s outdoor lights display, tearing the lights from their mounts and getting the strands tangled in its antlers.

“Thanks to a call from the Dallas Police Department yesterday, ODFW staff were able to locate and dart the buck to remove the lights,” the 🌲Oregon Department of Fish and 🦌Wildlife commented in a Facebook post.
