Woman saves deer with plastic jar stuck on its head

HERMANTOWN, Minnesota - A whitetail deer got its head stuck in a clear plastic jar that prevented it from eating or drinking for several days, until a resourceful Duluth-area woman managed to pop the jar off. The deer kept showing up around Janet Murphy`s Hermantown home, the jar covering its head just below its ears, the Duluth News Tribune reported. Murphy tried calling to 911 and the state Department of Natural Resources for help but got nowhere, she said. Farzad Farr, a Wildwoods volunteer, came to Murphy`s home bearing a 10-foot catch-pole. The contraption consists of a long, metal rod with a cable noose at the end that can be slipped over an animal`s head and cinched. More
