The Prince Rupert buck known as 香蕉视频直播淗ammy香蕉视频直播 managed to evade conservation officers who sought to remove the hammock strings attached to the deer香蕉视频直播檚 antlers.

香蕉视频直播淲e were unsuccessful in our pursuit to capture Hammy and free him of the hammock. He appears to be travelling a lot with the rut being on and doesn香蕉视频直播檛 stay long in any one place, we will continue to monitor and if we can free up more time we will attempt capture again, thanks for all your help,香蕉视频直播 wrote Tracy Walbauer, a conservation officer based in Terrace, in an email.

The officers drove in from Terrace and planned to tranquilize the buck and disentangle the purple threads. The deer has been donning the unique head gear since mid-August when it became caught in a backyard hammock. Since then, residents of Prince Rupert have started calling the deer 香蕉视频直播淗ammy.香蕉视频直播

So why now? The buck has become a bit of an internet sensation, many people have expressed concern about his welfare, and the conservation office was aware of the situation.

香蕉视频直播淲ith the rut starting right now we香蕉视频直播檙e a little worried he香蕉视频直播檚 going to get entangled with another buck when they香蕉视频直播檙e sparring and we香蕉视频直播檒l have two of them tied together,香蕉视频直播 said Tracy Walbauer, a conservation officer based in Terrace, on Nov. 16.

The conservation officers were in Prince Rupert from Thursday until Friday and reached out to the public to report sightings of Hammy.
