The bear managed to punch through a kitchen window screen and eat some food before moseying over to the master bathroom.
A young family hiking a popular trail in British Columbia, Canada, say they were followed by a black bear for approximately 20 minutes, KUTV reports.
Noticing that the bear was just a juvenile, Werner said figured he could use a catch pole to jostle it out. It worked, but not before a stubborn, feisty struggle that ended with the bear released outside, unharmed. Video from Shane Geyger, which has since gone viral, shows the bear being unwillingly removed from the home.
"I've dealt with wolves and bobcats and other animals that have been caught in traps and helped release those, but as far as releasing a bear from a house, this is a first," Werner said. Bear encounters are increasing at this time of year as adults go in search of a mate and cubs are sent off to venture on their own. The Wisconsin DNR estimated there were 23,200 black bears in the state last fall."Saw the video, I was quite surprised actually and got a good chuckle out of it," he said.
