FOYIL — Rogers County sheriff’s deputies, Wild Heart Ranch representatives, and Tulsa Zoo officials early Wednesday morning were dealing with a 150-pound bear, that is hold up in a resident's tree.

Early this morning, a bear was treed at the rural Foyil residence of Sue Dulaney. Responders are on the scene to attempt a humane sedation and recovery of the 150-pound bear, according to Annette King-Tucker, director, Wild Heart Ranch Ranch.

“Hey, I hope he lives happily ever after — just not in my back yard,” Dulaney said.
