With the help of a South Lyon animal rescue, a Bloomfield Township, Michigan deer was released from a plastic Halloween bucket that had been trapped over its nose and mouth for at least 10 days.
“He was getting desperate,” said Heather Ineich of South Lyon Murphy Animal Rescue, noting that Bloomfield homeowners Amber Ficarro and Scott Frazho captured photos of the deer knocking the bucket that held him captive against their door and windows.
The homeowners and animal rescuers nicknamed the deer Bucky.
Residents in the area of Telegraph and Square Lake roads area had seen the young buck in the neighborhood and called the township’s Animal Control Division for help.
Animal Control Officer Chris Baumann said he couldn’t catch the deer, so he called the rescue.
