Officials recommend hanging your lights higher up in trees so this doesn't happen.

DALLAS, Ore. – Wildlife officials in Oregon freed a buck that was entangled in Christmas lights.

The first reports of the animal with its antlers tangled in lights came in before Thanksgiving when a homeowner captured the buck on video walking through her yard. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officers sedated the buck with a dart so the lights could be removed.Officials say this sort of thing is a common occurrence. Bucks rub their antlers on trees, bushes and other things to get rid of the velvet, mark their territory, and show dominance over other bucks.

Oregon wildlife officials say every fall they start getting reports of deer “tangled up in volleyball nets, hammocks and yes, even Christmas lights.”Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.
