Deer gets caught in Christmas decorations

You've heard the term "a deer caught in the headlights," well how about “a deer caught in the Christmas lights?”

On Saturday a buck showed up in a southwest Colorado Springs neighborhood, with a string of Christmas lights hanging from its antlers.


Neighbours are used to seeing deer in the area, but not one with its own decorations stuck on its head. "I guess it got some lights tangled up in its antlers," said Louis McIntire.



McIntire saw the decorated deer, with a tangle of lights on its antlers strung down to the ground. "Everyday they're around here," said McIntire.

The lights are usually reserved for the trees and fences, not the deer. "A deer with Christmas lights is like, what did Santa lose his reindeer," said Steve Cvanita.

A neighbour chased the buck and tried to get the lights off. "He'd get pretty close, but not close enough," said McIntire. "They jump the fence here once in a while."
