Is This Deer Playing a Trick on Michigan Hunters?

For years, Michigan hunters have donned their orange vests and gear and headed into the woods with the goal of bagging a doe or a big buck.

Hunters wear these orange vests to increase their visibility and reduce the risk of being accidentally shot or mistaken for the animals being hunted.

Melissa Gow, who lives in Hillsdale County, was driving along while pulling a horse trailer when she spotted the deer wearing what she believed to be a reflective orange vest as it ran across the road.

Why Was the Deer Wearing an Orange Vest?

It's safe to assume that this stylish deer didn't pick up the orange vest from a local Cabela's. Many people, as well as I, are puzzled about how the vest even got on the deer.

Was the deer trying to blend in with other hunters?

My gut tells me that somehow someone was able to catch this deer and put the vest on it before releasing it back into the wild.

I've recently reported on stories where deer in Michigan have gotten things stuck on their heads, but getting this vest seems practically impossible to have simply happened on its own.
