Officials from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife are asking Coloradans to remove tangle hazards such as netting from their yards.

The request comes after several wildlife officers in Colorado Springs and Durango have had to cut down several nets that became entangled with antlers of buck deer, according to the release.

Right now, deer are migrating across the state looking for mates, and officials say they are prone to getting tangled in summer gear left in backyards.

“At this time of year, more deer are seen on the roads and they are also in the middle of the rut,” Matt Thorpe, area wildlife manager in Durango said in a media release. “People need to take down the things in their yards that snag antlers and slow down as they’re driving.”

Although in most cases wildlife officers are able to untangle a buck stuck in a clothes line or other item, there have been some instances this year where they’ve had to remove a buck’s antlers.

Items CPW is requesting to be put away for the year include tricycles, tires, garden cages, clothes lines, plastic fencing and lawn chairs.

Officials encourage homeowners hanging outdoor Christmas decorators to place them at least six feet high or attach them tightly to trees or structures.
