PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. — A deer with part of a purple hammock laced around his antlers has inspired a Facebook page, popular line of T-shirts and tremendous public interest in a northern British Columbia city. Hammy, as he has been dubbed, rose to notoriety during the summer when he got stuck in a backyard hammock in Prince Rupert. RCMP officers freed him but Hammy raced away before the hammock fringe could be tugged off his head. But male deer shed their antlers annually, so Hammy will lose his showy chapeau within the next few months.
