Trick or Treat - Deer tricked when going for a treat

DeerpumpkinThis picture shows a small, immature deer with a plastic jack-o'-lantern meant for collecting Halloween candy stuck on its head. The fake pumpkin had been stuck on the animal's snout for about a week.

The deer must have freed itself from it’s pumpkin prison over the weekend as the plastic jack-o-lantern was found in someone’s back yard and a very thin deer was seen running away shortly afterwards. Animal rescue experts believe Friday's rains slickened the yearling deer's fur, and the cold stiffened the bucket so, somehow, the hapless but world-famous fawn dubbed "Pumpkin Head" could free itself.

Video footage from Michigan was shown on our local news around the country.
