You've Heard About The Big One That Got Away....

We've all hear the story from the fisherman about the big one that got away. But, in Virginia, a hunter was was fined $400 and jailed for hunting violations after he bolted antlers to the head of a dead doe and posed for a photograph. Marcel Fournier, 19, shot the doe at night and then used glue and long bolts to affix antlers to its head before checking in the deer. In Virginia it's illegal to kill an antlerless deer, and it's also illegal to hunt at night. Guess we all like to brag about our conquests.

In another rather comical news story, a driver in Washington State received a summons when a police officer stopped him driving in the carpool lane with a passenger who was not wearing a sealtbelt. Turned out the passenger was a dummy, literally. The driver was using the dummy as a second passenger to access the carpool lane.

I shot a deer once in my underwear ... although what it was doing in my underwear, I'll never know.

I can't imagine the work it must have took to jerry-rig that deer. Gotta give him points for effort I guess.
