Hey all, Has anybody seen this story out there in some form or another. It has been telephoned so much that it"s happened anywhere from Illinios to Minnesota but the real deal is it happened in Osceola,WI. Guy was out combining his corn in November, big international with duals, sinks the thing up to the axels. Thinks he hit badger den so calls pop to come pull him out. Guy won"t even get on the ground because he doesn"t want anything to do with a ornery badger. Tells pop to bring a gun so there won"t be any problems.
So dad comes out with mom, who brings camera to take pictures of scaredycat(?)son. Find out that it is not a badger hole but a bear den. Bear is trapped by the combine sitting on top of him. End up shooting the bear and then pull combine out. Pictures in the local paper and out on the NET somewhere. Neighbors eating good and farm family has a new bear rug at the cabin. "Alwas keep your stick on the ice"

It was reported in the Country Today newspaper. But, the thing was it not only happen once but twice with in a week. The other bear was paralyzed when the combine broke down in. That one was close to 550 lbs. I have the article laying around here somewhere.

That's kinda what I thought ? But then I wondered if they thought maybe the bear got something broken ? Then it would be pissed off !!! and maybe go on a rampage or maybe they just needed a new rug ?

This shows how these stories get out of hand when repeated. THERE WERE NO DUALS! lol.

CLW no need to shout, Just passing this on for the enjoyment of the clan on here. The picture in the paper shows the whole right side of the machine, looked like duals to me. Also the caption under the picture of the bear says "stuck under the wheels"(plural) sorry for my assuming they were duals. There my rants over.
