Deer gets plastic Halloween pumpkin pail stuck on its head in Norton Shores

It's not uncommon for wildlife to get curious about your Halloween decorations, especially if it smells like food.

NORTON SHORES, Mich. — A curious deer in West Michigan got itself into trouble in Norton Shores. 

Rose Caperson from the Norton Shores area shared a photo and video of a deer whose nose got stuck inside a plastic pumpkin pail in the area near Lake Harbor Road and Ritter Drive Monday morning. 

The video shows the animal walking around with other deer nearby.
