BilletHead Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 It was so neat watching the fawn yesterday. It never moved at all. Last time I checked it was 3 PM. Went into shop for a little bit. Out at 4 and mother had returned and took fawn. I am sure we will see this one again plus others. tho1mas and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

fishinwrench Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Did you rip the tenderloins out of that fawn? 😂 They are sure taking their time cleaning up my last pile of White bass guts. Wish they'd get busy because when the breeze blows from an easterly direction it's getting a bit rank around here. 🤧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 I've heard about this for years, and we were in the neighborhood over the weekend so we stopped by. Pretty darned impressive piece of machinery. 'Big Brutus', who created some fine strip pits in SE Kansas from 1963 to 1974: Note lady between trucks for scale. Fun facts: Electric drive, producing 7,500 + HP Boom is 160 feet Scoop held 90 cubic feet, 150 tons of Kansas Speed 0.22 MPH Weight ~ 11 million pounds Build on site; parts brought in on 150 railcars BilletHead 1 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishnDave Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Ol' fella is missing some teeth. Another fun fact that doesn't carry the slightest bit of truth, ... it was designed to be powered by either mastodon fat or a hearing aid battery. Seriously though, the body of that thing is so big, in order to house the teams of draft horses required to run it. Also a completely fabricated fact.
