This deer farts in the woods, and luckily (or unluckily?) a trail cam was there to capture it. Alright, quit laughing. You haven’t even watched the video yet, and you’re reduced to a 2nd-grade maturity level, aren’t you? OK, we’ll admit that it doesn’t matter who you are or what your age is… farts are

North Dakota walleye state record

The previous record didn’t last even a year. Tom Volk was fishing the Heart River yesterday near Mandan, North Dakota, when he hooked into the fish of a lifetime.
