Deer spotted in Mishawaka wearing safety vest

Video of a deer spotted in a Mishawaka back yard has been gaining internet attention, because of the deer’s unusual attire.

Not that any attire would be normal for a deer, but a bright orange hunters vest does seem an odd fashion choice. DNR officials tell WSBT that it’s likely that the deer is someone’s pet, and they hope it won’t get shot. However putting a vest on the deer may not be the best option because they also say that the deer will continue to grow and the vest will restrict its movement as it grows and cause significant trauma.

They are working to tranquilize the deer in order to remove the best and send it back into the wild. Should you see the deer in your neighborhood the DNR asks that you give them a call to report its whereabouts
