Colorado wildlife officials are asking residents to check their properties and remove potential tangle and entrapment hazards for wildlife.

Hammocks, garden equipment and recreational sports equipment like soccer and volleyball nets can all present potential danger to wildlife, especially antlered deer, elk and moose.

That’s why Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking Coloradans to assess their outdoor spaces and remove potential tangle hazards for antlered wildlife that are in migration from summer habitat to winter range. CPW is also reminding folks to keep this in mind when decorating for holidays, including Halloween.

“Right now is a good opportunity to clean up your yard and to remove items a curious animal might stick its nose in or get wrapped up in,” said CPW Assistant Area Wildlife Manager Steve McClung in a statement. “And when you’re putting up various holiday decorations, keep wildlife in mind. We see animals get wrapped up all the time, and all of these impairments can affect their mobility, vision and ability to eat and drink.”

According to the agency, CPW officers respond every year to incidents where antlered animals have become entangled. Additionally, several deer have been caught this year in outdoor rat traps that have latched onto the face of a curious deer.
