Hammy has been caught, and the Prince Rupert buck鈥檚 iconic purple threads have been replaced by a painted purple antler.

Last week, conservation officers from Terrace drove to Prince Rupert to find the deer, known to many in the community as Hammy. With the rutting season here, they wanted to remove pieces of a purple hammock that had become entangled in his antlers back in August. But after two days they couldn鈥檛 find him.

The officers returned on Thursday, Nov. 23 and found the famous deer on 8th Avenue East at noon.

鈥淭he Hammock has been removed! He鈥檚 back roaming around and doing great!! He now sports a painted purple antler all you Hammy lovin fans should have no trouble spotting this beautiful buck,鈥� said Marced茅s Mark on the Chronicles of Hammy The Deer Official Page.

鈥淏ig Shout out to the Terrace B.C CO鈥檚 for all your help in tracking Hammy and getting that mess of twine removed I鈥檓 sure Hammy is feeling pretty relieved.鈥�

Since the deer became caught in a backyard hammock on 6th Avenue East on Aug. 14 Hammy鈥檚 story has been shared all over the world through posts on social media, and even articles written by the BBC and ANI News, a news outlet based in New Delhi, India.
