Just before sunset Sunday, a group of people who had been tracking the doe throughout the weekend, snared it with catch poles. They were able to remove the bucket from its head and safely release it, according to WCPO.

"Despite the danger, these determined residents were able to converge on the deer after following it up and down hills for many hours," Daryl Meyerrenke, owner of Anderson Township Family Pet Center who was getting calls from residents about the deer sightings, told WCPO.
