Story summary

A deer wandering through a backyard in Lake Grove, Long Island, got its antlers stuck in a hammock. The animal expert, equipped with an antler-proof vest, used scissors to carefully free the trapped deer, which was recorded in a video showing the dramatic rescue. This incident is part of a recent trend; this month alone, the rescuer has freed five deer from similar situations across Long Island. The expert warns homeowners to take down unused hammocks and sports equipment like volleyball nets to prevent such accidents, as these items pose significant risks to male deer during their antler growth phase. Deer are increasingly entering backyards due to ongoing construction in the area. Rescue attempts can be dangerous for both the animal and the rescuer.
