Have You Seen This Deer?
February 15, 2010 SightingsStrange goings’ on in the foothills of North Carolina.

January 18, 2009 Campfire StoriesLeave it to a New Yawker to go elk hunting in Montana and come back with a llama! This goof even sent his elk tag with the photos (details blurred, contact me if you want the original), check out all the photos after the jump.
