Canned Deer
Laurel, Montana was the scene of the newest depravity of the Animal Uprising™. The animal overlords loosed their newest secret weapon there: the canned deer.
A deer got its head stuck in a coffee can Friday morning near Laurel.
Laurel Police were called to 313 Laurmac Lane just before 6 a.m. to try to help the distressed animal. Officers Jim Huertas and David Firebaugh found a "small deer with a coffee can firmly affixed to its snout," according to their report. The can covered the deer's mouth, nose and eyes.
As the officers slowly approached the deer - which could not see - the animal spooked and ran, eventually bumping into a parked car and a fence. The collisions pushed the can farther onto its face.
A spectator gave the officers a rope. While Firebaugh slowly worked the deer into a contained area, Huertas attempted to lasso it. He missed on the first go. The deer ran headlong toward Huertas, who was able to rope it on the second attempt.
The officers then managed to catch the deer nad free it from its can. As usual, the story misses the real danger here. Imagine the horror if you open a can of coffee in your kitchen, only to be assaulted by a deer leaping forth from the can! It gives a whole new meaning to "Starbucks," doesn't it?

Ohhh… Starbucks coffee good one.
We had a situation were a deer buck got a large orange plastic pumpkin stuck in his antlers just before hunting season. The word went out, no fair shooting the great pumpkin.
