Two sparring bucks crash through window of Douglas County home
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo (KRDO) – A couple of rowdy bucks in Douglas County are back in the wild after crashing into someone's house in the middle of a midnight sparring match.
According to West Metro Fire Rescue (WMFR), at around 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning, two bucks in the area of Roxborough Park were butting heads when their sparring match took them right into a homeowner's window well – and through the glass window into the home's basement.
The fire department says the startled homeowner made a late-night call to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), who were quick to dispatch two officers with a tranquilizer gun and call WMFR for assistance.
After the two unexpected guests were put to sleep, West Metro Fire says its crews used what's called a "MegaMover" – essentially a stretcher made of tarp – to carry the two back outside.
CPW later tagged the bucks and, when the duo eventually woke back up, released them back into the wild.
"This is what happens when you get rowdy after midnight!" West Metro Fire Rescue said in a post on Facebook. "We’re guessing the bucks will think twice before their next late-night showdown."
