Deer wearing hi-visibility vest spotted in Michigan

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – File this video in the "What the...?" folder this year.

Melissa Gow, from Hillsdale County, Michigan, told Nexstar's WLNS she was driving and towing a horse trailer in a rural area about 16 miles southwest of Jackson when a deer wearing what appears to be a hi-visibility vest ran across the road – safely after another vehicle stopped – and ran along the side of her truck.

"There is literally a deer with an orange vest running around confused at the corner of Sterling and Moscow," Gow wrote on a Facebook post Wednesday.

At this time not much is known about the deer, how it ended up with a hi-vis vest, or where it ran.

The irony of a deer wearing a hi-vis vest – which also looks like hunter orange – was not lost on many people commenting online about the deer just being safe during hunting season.
