Employees of the Detroit Animal Welfare Group answered an emergency call on Sunday in Hines Park in western Wayne County when a young buck had the bad luck of having a Halloween candy container stuck on his head which prevented the animal from drinking and eating for a period of 10 days.
The rescue team members followed the deer waded through a 20 foot wide river that was freezing.
The rescue team members used a tranquilizer gun to put the buck to sleep so they could remove the candy container that had the image of a pumpkin from his head.
The buck was able to make a full recovery from the effects of the sedatives and return to the woods.

The deer must have mistaken it for a real pumpkin.
