Bryan Ammeson and Scott Stoney were fishing for steelhead on the St. Joseph River when the pair landed an unusual catch and saw one of the most insane things anyone could ever see.  A few feet from their boat, the pair of fishermen watched two giant bucks drown in the river while still locked in combat.  When Ammeson and Stoney pulled the deer to the boat and towed them back to shore, they made a startling discovery.  The two deer had accidentally gotten their horns locked together and were still stuck after death!

“They died four or five feet right in front of me,” Ammeson said.  “So I ended up hooking them up to the side of the boat and we took them back to shore.  We get them up, and one ended up being a 17-point with two drop tines, and another one is a perfect 10-point rack that’s just absolutely massive.  Everybody that I’ve showed this to so far has said that’s one of the biggest deer they’ve ever seen.”

A third person, not in the boat with Ammeson or Stoney, confirms the story of the two bucks and how they ended up falling into the river while grappling.  As for Ammeson, he’s planning on getting the carcasses processed for venison; the heads will be stuffed and mounted in mid-combat, just as they were when they were discovered.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
