JANUARY. 30TH. WHILE OH DEAR, HERE’S SOMETHING YOU DON’T SEE EVERY DAY. NEIGHBORS NOW FAWNING OVER ONE WINSTON-SALEM MAN. HE HELPED PULL A BUCKET OFF A DEER’S WHEN IT WAS CLEARLY STUCK AND IN DISTRESS. I SPOKE TO THE MAN WHO WAS ON CAMERA COMING TO THE RESCUE. IT WAS TERRIFYING. IT’S THE KIND OF RESCUE YOU CERTAINLY DON’T SEE HAPPENING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY DAY. IF I DIDN’T HAVE ADRENALINE GOING THE WHOLE TIME, I WOULD HAVE. I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY RAN THE DEER INSTEAD OF TOWARDS THE DEER. A GOING BUCKWILD YOU WILL. AFTER GETTING ITS HEAD STUCK IN THIS BUCKET, IT WAS OBVIOUSLY IN VERY MUCH DISTRESS AND WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DIDN’T HURT OR RUN INTO TRAFFIC AND WAS JUST KIND OF SMASHING INTO ALL THE TREES AND POSTS AND BEING GENERALLY STUPID. THE HOLE ENCOUNTER CAUGHT ON A NEIGHBOR’S CAMERA. IT WAS JUST RUNNING FOR ITS LIFE, JUST SMASHING INTO EVERY EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF IT. AND, YOU KNOW, WAS LIKE TOTALLY BLIND. IT WAS LIKE HOPPING AROUND BECAUSE I JUST COULDN’T SEE IN IT. THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE DARK. IT WAS REALLY LIKE A ZOMBIE MOVIE. IT WAS REALLY TERRIFYING. THE VIDEO SHOWS THE DEER HOBBLING AS NEIGHBORS GATHER. THAT’S KEVIN MCCUE COMES TO THE RESCUE, FINALLY GETTING CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE BUCKET OFF AS THE DEER MAKES A RUN FOR IT. THE ONLY THING I THOUGHT TO DO WAS TO TRY AND WRESTLE THE BUCKET OFF OF ITS HEAD. AND I SUCCEEDED AND KEVIN NOW ABLE TO LOOK BACK ON THE MEMORY WITH SOME HUMOR. YEAH. IF THE DEER COULD FAWN OVER ME A LITTLE LONGER, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY NICE. OR AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME DOE. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. BUT HE REALIZES, TOO, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE TURNED OUT MUCH DIFFERENTLY. IT WAS ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS I’VE EVER DONE. THERE WAS A CHANCE THAT MAYBE IT IT WAS MAD AND IT WOULD HAVE ATTACKED WHOEVER IT SAW FIRST. BUT AT THAT POINT, I DIDN’T REALLY CARE BECAUSE THERE’S, YOU KNOW, A BUCKET ON ITS HEAD. AND THAT’S PRETTY THAT’S PRETTY SILLY. I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK TO WORK AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY WAS AND YEAH, SO I GUESS IT WORKED OUT IN THE END. SO NO ONE KNOWS HOW LONG THE BUCKET HAD BEEN ON THAT DEER’S HEAD. BUT CLEARLY A HAPPY ENDING HE
