Sam;
Top of the morning to you sir, I hope this finds you and your family well and keeping dry enough.

Thanks for the Versatile photos once again, as you know they bring back a lot of mostly fond memories for me as I spent a whole lot of time in a 935 back in the day. I believe my longest stretch was 27 hours more or less straight in it - getting out to fuel and perform necessary bodily functions of course....

We put a pyrometer on the turbo on ours as it would really overheat with the wrong conditions. Hot, dry days were bad with it as I recall. They - that is the 935 - were known for a bit of an odd radiator system too and the engines were known to overheat too, but I can't recall ours doing that.

However, I can say that I watched the gauges religiously on that beast, much, MUCH more so than the Cases we ran too - these were in the olden times before CaseIH was a thing so they had the Scania diesels in them.

Thanks again sir for the trip down memory lane and all the best to you folks this summer - may there be enough rain for the crops and cows, along with enough sun to balance it out.

To no one in particular:
Good morning to you all, I trust that wherever in the world this finds you that it's as bright and sunny as it is here.

After I'm done pecking away at the keyboard I do believe we'll fire up the midlife crisis - 40th Anniversary Mustang rag top - and slide into town to see the Moms in the care facility they're in - it's that nice of a day here!

Anyway I've posted enough black bear photos over the years to show that ours aren't huge here in the Okanagan. If we get an honest 6' black bear here it's considered pretty good and the heaviest I've personally weighed went 225lb carcass into the cooler. I'm not sure how to convert that into live weight on a bear though, sorry.

The black bears on Vancouver Island can be a full foot longer than here and of course would be correspondingly heavier.

That said, back east they get some seriously chunky black bears. This is a quote of an article about a road kill in Manitoba - just a bit northeast of where I grew up farming.

"Manitoba has some of the biggest black bears in the world. In 2001 a monster black bear was killed by a car in August. It weighed 856 pounds after loosing body fluid due to the collision with a car. Bears in Manitoba will slow down their eating in October to prepare for hibernation. Had that bear not been killed, he would have continued to eat for another 30-60 days.
Biologists speculated that by hibernation time , the huge 15 year old trophy class black bear could have weighed between 900 and 1,000 pounds."

As I recall it took a fair crew to get that one onto the ATV trailer which the Ministry of Wildlife folks showed up with to pick it up too.

All the best to you all this weekend and Happy Victoria Day to those of us reading from north of the medicine line.

Ok now you are changing your story! First you said and I quote "I got him dragged and gutted" "and it took 8 guys to get him lifted 15" on my hitch hauler." Either way we know you are full of sh_t. But yeah I can show your 8 bitches how to lift a dead bear. As I am sure many others on here could as well. It ain't magic or super human strength. It's call a little commonsense. But please continue with your embellishments. I ain't the only one laughing.

How bout you just go get with Big Stick and go down on one other for a while. I think you two would get along just swimmingly. You seem to be carved from the same block wnining, condescending troll chit.

Maybe a dumb question but I have looked and looked at that processor head and cant figure out what it does. What does it do? Doesn't look like anything they log with in north east Texas.

Great story please keep talking. so which is it????? Were you in a swamp or at your Car?????? I'll give you time to get your story straight.

What does Big Stick have to do with this? Did I miss his post on here? Or are you needing a diversion to pretend you aren't full of Sh_T? Here I'll do the math for you, 600 divided by 8 Bitches equals 75.

Shiitty pic, it'll feed a tree length tree limbing it, then buck to whatever length they want. The lower right you can see the yellow saw bar. I get back up there I'll take a better pic for ya.

Now that you say what it does I have seen one. But only once here. That is what they use to clear cut our deer lease last year with.Pretty impressive piece of equipment. Thanks for the reminder. Wish they hadn't cut our deer lease but everybody has to make a living
In 2 to 3 years it will be good hunting again.

Ya up here it's a continual state of change, with clearcuts, and reprod... One of my bread and butter spots is now grew up, I killed a 4 point every year for several years, now you couldn't drive a D-8 through it. Another 20 years they'll mow it down again....

They were supposed to replant ours December or January but haven't yet. Hopefully before we put our traps out again.

The tough part of wetter WA, need to find new spots all the time. Still planning on being there for muzzy elk, work permitting.

Apparently you missed ALL of them.

I am, however, quite impressed with the mathematical prowess an, apparent 3rd grade mentality has afforded you. Bravo !!!

Have any more nits to pick ??

Tony bought my tags and permits the other day, I went Westside musket....
