“Never dreamt we would ever do this in our lifetime,” Tricia Hurt wrote on Facebook.

The bear had reportedly been running around with the container on its head for three to four days.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources had been contacted several times but had been unable to locate the animal, thanks to the rural, wooded landscape, Hurt said.

“We weren’t going to put the video up,” Hurt said. “But we wanted everyone to know that the bear was OK.”
