Deer Taking Tibetan Prayer Flags from a Fire Lookout

After a poetry reading that I hosted at my fire lookout, I woke up unusually early and decided to check on my cat. Then I thought I'd go to a window to see if the moon was still visible. To my surprise, I saw a deer underneath the fire tower. His antlers were entangled in some Tibetan prayer flags that were hanging on the tower. I nervously
videotaped him as he struggled with the prayer flags, and when I went over to try to help him he took the prayer flags and walked away.

not gonna lie this is a pretty cool thing to capture..

but from what it looks like the deer is trying to get untangled from the prayer flags...

dear an4reas

yes, it´s true. i was very worried. i even went out to try to rescue the deer (not on video) but that´s when it trotted away. so i no longer put prayer flags on the tower. And one day, 3 years later,while walking along a nearby animal trail, i found the prayer flags lying on the ground!!

thank you, best wishes vivian
