A Michigan deer wandered for 10 days with a plastic Halloween pumpkin stuck over its mouth, and rescuers say they get calls like it every year

A young buck in Michigan spent 10 days with a plastic Halloween pumpkin stuck on its head before volunteers freed it on Sunday, according to BroBible . The Detroit Animal Welfare Group led the effort and says it tracked the deer to Hines Park in Westland, miles from the Livonia neighborhood where it was first spotted. Volunteers tranquilized the animal and removed the bucket. The deer first drew attention after a resident in a Livonia neighborhood recorded video of it with the plastic pumpkin bucket stuck over its mouth. The group says it began receiving calls shortly after Halloween and posted on social media asking people to report sightings. It says it received several updates and photos but could not catch up to the deer, which was becoming weak and thin. The group says it was concerned that the deer would become dehydrated and eventually starve, as the bucket kept it from eating or drinking. It received permission from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to tranquilize the animal if volunteers could reach it. The group also asked for help from drone pilots, including one with a heat sensing drone, to track the deer down. Volunteers waded through water and

Menominee County Sheriff’s Department trades traffic tickets for Thanksgiving turkeys

MENOMINEE COUNTY, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — Drivers in Menominee County might’ve expected a traffic ticket from local deputies on November 10. Instead, some were gifted with an early Thanksgiving surprise. The Menominee County Sheriff’s Department launched their inaugural Turkeys for Tickets initiative, where drivers who were pulled over for minor traffic infractions received a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving instead of a ticket. Sheriff Darrin Kudwa explained that it was dedicated to spreading holiday cheer in the community. “This is just something we want to give back to the community. Our community supports us a lot. Our law enforcement officers are well-supported in the county, and this is just something small that we want to give back to and, hopefully, hand a few turkeys out for Thanksgiving dinner,” he said. Two primary supporters in the community include Jack’s Fresh Market in Menominee and Gary’s Quality Foods in Wallace, who donated bags of frozen turkeys for the deputies to pass out on their patrol stops. “Jack’s Fresh Market here in Menominee and Gary’s IGA up in Wallace are going to be the ones donating the turkeys for us,” Kudwa shared. “Without them this stuff wouldn’t be possible, right? They donate all kinds of
