Buck rescued twice, exactly one year apart, from the same culvert

Colorado Parks and Wildlife shared photos and videos of a гeѕсᴜe after a buck was seen ѕtгᴜсk in a culvert in Colorado Springs.

On Nov. 28, CPW was alerted that a mule deer buck with the tag 116 was seen under a deck a mile or so away from the culver atop Popes Bluff, which sits about 50 feet above the culvert. CPW said the steep grades and cliffs separate the culvert from homes.
