Yessir, it's beautiful country, but those winter's will freeze the balls off a brass monkey!When Linda and I went to John Day to look around at houses and properties last March, we took a drive up to Seneca.
I told her that no matter how nice it looked that day, we DID NOT want to live there!
That valley can get butt azz cold!!! Seneca still holds the record low temperature for Oregon of -54 below zero (tied with Ukiah).
Shrinkage!

Side note: The largest black bear ever killed in Oregon was shot by a rancher E of Seneca. I met the lady in this story on a trip to John Day.
"WILDLIFE — A huge black bear by Oregon standards has been killed by a rancher legally defending the family's property.
Hunters are scratching their heads wondering how they missed seeing one of the biggest bruins experts have seen in the Northwest."
From the Associated Press:
Oregon rancher kills 500-pound black bear

When I was butchering for a living one of the guys I worked with never bothered to take of his protective apron when he went to the bathroom, then would wipe his hands down the front of it when he was finished!
Oh, I see. 2019. Hers was a few years earlier. Did you get credit for the official record? AI didn't pick it up if you did.
No....I was a fed and trapped them both. I killed 30 to 60 bears a years for human health and safety, property damage and livestock perdition
Where did you get them? (The 2 big ones)
Just cause they are little and cute doesn't mean they are safe to pet! I killed a 26 year old sow that was 27 pounds and as cute as a button......she would of ate me given the chance, like a stick of dynamite going off
How rude.....the black one was 560# not the brown one! Ill have you know the brown one was 250# at that time!!!Which one of these two bears goes 560?
(Sorry buddy. Just couldn't help myself.)
At that weight they probably both would have tasted like sour owl schvit!How rude.....the black one was 560# not the brown one! Ill have you know the brown one was 250# at that time!!!
Our usual thread drift.
For the record I was referring to myself as rhe brown one. But yes they went to locals that needed the meat....gross!!!
