Deer — not Santa’s reindeer — dropped off from helicopter to Utah biologists days before Christmas

What could have been an early Christmas miracle in the skies above Utah was just a routine check-up by the state's division of wildlife resources on Dec. 21, 2023.

Instead of pulling Santa’s sleigh, deer were left hanging three at-a-time from a helicopter transporting them to biologists. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources shared video of the incident.

The Utah DWR said each winter, approximately 1,200 deer are caught and fitted with GPS collars.

The deer are then brought to a staging area for health assessments before they’re safely released back into the wild, according to the Utah DWR.
