Deer Head On Pole In Yard Stirs Debate

POSTED: 5:28 pm EDT April 23, 2006

HOLLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A deer trophy mounted in a Michigan front yard is turning heads all around town.

At first, some neighbors thought the deer head was stuck on a pole as a joke or to announce a party. But now that it's apparently there to stay, they're complaining to officials in Holly Township, northwest of Detroit.

The 24-year-old owner of the deer head said he's amused by some of his neighbors' reactions to the head.

"I think it's sweet," he said, adding that he plans to keep the lawn oddity in place "forever."

One neighbor has asked township officials to demand its removal.
