Another combine story...this time a BEAR
I got this in an email.
Harvesting corn, an Iowa farmer's combine drops into a
300 pound black bear's den/ hole.
Pictures. I missed this on the news
Who needs to go to Canada to hunt bear! This is near Sioux Center ,
IA.
Troy got a bear with the combine. He was combining our corn over at
Measners field and fell into a big hole. He thought it was a badger
hole
until a big black paw came out. Pretty soon a head appeared. They knew
for sure it was no badger. He wasn't very happy either. He was 300
pounds.

RE: Another combine story...this time a BEAR
This is incorrect. This was an incident in Wisconsin, there were two incidents that both happend the same day in Wi, one no more than 25-30 minutes from my farm. I have the pictures and storiesfrom our local paper to back this up...

RE: Another combine story...this time a BEAR
I love the chain of incorrect email mumbo jumbo.....that's just one problem of the internet email system, incorrect information.
Mo, not Iowa, but Wisconson...we had a lengthy one on this not to long ago. Resend the email with correct information back...lol
edit: had to make that red and bold in case too many don't read all the threads.....
