“That’s one thing that I love about greater Minnesota is that everybody’s willing to lend a hand,” a wildlife officer said.
A bear that got stuck in the snow won the sympathy of Minnesotans, who tossed fish and Pop-Tarts and then came up with a plan to dig him out.
Neighbors near the community of Wannaska, in the state’s northwest corner, became aware of the bear’s predicament on Sunday. “I don’t think he was totally frozen in,” Tri said. “I think he just got caught up in some of that thick ice … and just hooked himself goofy.” He said a local couple had started to dig the bear out before wildlife officials arrived on the scene and blocked off the area.Tri said he first heard about the situation about 5:30 p.m. Sunday, when he received a call from Kyle Arola, a wildlife manager at nearby Thief Lake. Arola and another state conservation officer had tried poking the bear with a stick. Usually, that’s enough to get them moving, but it was clear in this case that the bear was stuck.
