Looks real but they usually look WAY bigger shot at that camera angle with the hunter sitting back further. Still a huge buck no matter how you look at it! :shock:

Shot looks far back.
If it bleeds, we can kill it . . . .

It looks fake to me. Maybe it's the flash but it almost looks like a guy holding 2 very white sheds to his head. Deer does have a big head though!

Can't be real. That looks bigger than the Rompola buck. ;) :mrgreen:

Besides, we probably would have heard about it before now.

He says both G2s don't look right. They are coming up from in back of the beams instead of on top of the beams. Maybe like the guy is holding them with his thumbs. :arrow: Hopefully he will know more in a day or two, but he is leaning heavily towards fake. I agree, look Mitched to me.

It doesn't say. Just says his taxi scored it and he has no plans of getting it done officially.
