NORTH CAROLINA (Web Desk) - A man rescued a deer spotted wandering his neighborhood with a bucket stuck over its head.
A video captured by a neighbor in Winston-Salem shows Kevin McHugh and others pursing a deer seen wandering their neighborhood with the bucket stuck on its head.
"It was just running for its life-- smashing into everything in front of it and totally blind," McHugh told WXII-TV. "Hopping around because it couldn t see-- and thought it was in the dark. It was like a zombie movie; it was really terrifying."
McHugh was finally able to get close enough to pull the bucket from the deer s head.
"It was terrifying," McHugh said. "If I didn t have my adrenaline going the whole time, I would ve probably run from the deer instead of going toward the deer."
McHugh said he wasn t thinking about his own safety.
"The only thing I thought to do was try to wrestle the bucket off its head," McHugh said. "And I succeeded."
Animal rescuers in Michigan conducted a similar rescue last month when a deer was spotted wandering a Bloomfield Hills neighborhood with a plastic Halloween bucket stuck over its head.
South Lyon Murphy Lost Animal Recovery managed to use a net trap to capture the deer in a resident s yard and removed the bucket.
