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.

Thats wild! I remember people talking about it on herea while back, but thats the first time I got to see the pics. Bet he was surpised.

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...

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.....:eek:

Bear...In Iowa.....No way, has to be North of Iowa.

although I would of liked if it was iowa, then I wouldn't have to pay non-residence prices when i get drawn to bear hunt in wisconsin.

I believe the ILDNR website had some article somewhere saying that it was a false rumor in Illinios.

The emails I got said it was from WI also.

Farmington, Wisconsin to be exact on what my email say.


edit, sorry IBM, I just wanted this to be noticed to squash the rumors....it's amazing isn't it? Rob
