the deer probably weighed
412lbs. on hoof, but the
eyes are closed, which
almost never happens, the
tongue is in its mouth,
which always hangs out,
and the two border jumpers
are probably in jail after
these photos. I don't think
its a real photo, but it
looks good. thanks d.atkins

I am not sure what type of trickery was done to these photo's but one thing's for certain
they have been altered, a deer never dies with it's eyes shut.
where was is taken at is the question ? I say yes it's possible in Canada
I've watched a lot of big game hunting shows and have seen several 300 to 350
pound deer taken so it very well could be true. one other thing this could be is
a bottle feed deer on one of these pay to hunt ranches that do there own
genetics with several deer. notice the two helpers in the photo don't look like
there are from around here but hired hands on a ranch. please let us know where
he came from.
?
I THINK IF IT IS REAL, MUST HAVE BEEN VERY DEPRESSED & DID NOTHING BUT LIE
AROUND ALL THE TIME EATING. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT WAY. I THINK THE
PICTURE IS A FAKE. GOD BLESS, MARIA
I just looked at the 412 pound Buck. Is it really real? Where did they
kill it at? Was it around here?
I haven't heard anything about his buck but he looks real enough to me. Do you by
chance have the pic of that huge rattlesnake that was caught here in West
Virginia? If so, would you forward it to me? I'm from Michigan and they just can't
believe it. Thanks April

I don't know what to think of this? Maybe it was bitten by a clay county
rattlesnake! You all are doing a wonderful job with the food drive and
everything. I hope you and your families have a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Gene
Look at the hunter's hands in all of the pictures. Especially the second
picture. Pretty armature using Photo Shop. Hank G. Shafer
Where was this deer taken? Looks to be a Mule Deer to me. I' killed my share
of Whitetail and Mule Deer. Yes there are Mule Deer's with white tails, more
with black tail's. Look at the head, looks like a Mule deer to me not a
Whitetail. Have a lot of questions about this one!
I was looking at this buck, and I think it would be really hard to forge this one.

My Husband and I just looked at the "big deer" I
know West Virginia people believe anything but come on were not that stupid!!!!!
Look at the bow in the second picture it looks a lot bigger than any bow we
have ever seen............Donna & Sean from Ashford
Al,
I looked at the 412lb deer
pictures and do believe that
some trickery was used in
the photography. I believe
that angles and depth
perception make the deer
appear bigger than it
actually is. However, if you
look at the rack in
comparison to the hunters
hand in photo one, and then
compare that to the neck of
the deer, this is a huge
deer (my guess is high 200lb
range). A definite shooter
indeed. I disagree with one
of the other writers about
this possibly being a mule
deer, and this is why. I
have a picture of a huge
whitetail that my son shot
this year and the heads are
very similar, it is just an
older whitetail. The next
time I am in the store I
will show you the picture
and you can judge for
yourself.
Thanks for linking me up to
this picture, we enjoy

It
was probably a
decent-sized deer to
begin with, however,
there has been
significant photo
manipulation. I've
blown up the pictures to
point out some
details. On bigbuck1
look at the noticeable
difference between the
left and right side of
the deer. the right side
has been stretched and
modified. On bigbuck2
you can see the shadow
way too well. If the
shadow was going to be
that dark because of
camera flash, it would
have ended up on the
guys hands as well as
the sleeves of his
jacket. On bigbuck3, you
can see the outline of
the left arm of the guy
in the green
sweatshirt. You can see
the camo on the hunter
is smudged, probably to
cover up a graphical
defect. The back line
of the deer is messed up
as well.
Also,
they should have flopped
that deer. Can you say
"gut shot?" Speaking of
that, here's another
question: have any bow
hunters ever gut shot a
deer and seen that much
bright red blood that
far back on a deer?
