...Watch: Just in Time for Easter…Peeps vs. .22
At the request of a fan — and just in time for Easter — Kirsten Joy Weiss sets out to see just how many Peeps it takes to stop a .22. After a couple of tries and a bit of marshmallow carnage, she gives you an answer. No spoilers here though, you’re going to have to watch the video to find out. I will, however, share that the first little guy took it straight through the heart, although he never knew what hit him because, although Ms. Weiss is not a fan of Peeps, she’s not completely heartless and therefore blindfolded the first little fellow.

...Australian Angler Catches 13-foot Tiger Shark on Hand Line

Go Fishing on a Head Boat (No, really!)
Fishing on a head boat is cramped, difficult, rife with tangles, and rarely as productive as fishing from your own boat. It’s also an awesome reminder as to why we buy and maintain our own private fishing boats. And if you step aboard with the right level of expectations, it can also be a heck of a lot of fun. Last winter my family and I spent a few days in the Florida Keys, and on a whim, we bought spots along the rain of the Miss Islamorada for a day of snapper fishing.

When people think about getting chased by wildlife, they usually think of bears, wolves, or mountain lions. They probably never think of tortoises.

At 183 years old, Jonathan is believed to be the oldest living animal in the world.
