My wife said she caught it on face book, she said it read, just because its brown and down doesnt always mean its dead!
She did say That the guy was in Indiana somewhere.

Re: Always make sure your buck is dead!
I've seen these pics a dozen times but ZERO story to go with them. I'm not buying what they're selling aside from thst is a decent buck and that guy has a splitting headache.

That was my first thought as well. There is no blood on the antlers and that looks like a screw in treestep to the head to do that much damage. Must have hurt like .

Re: Always make sure your buck is dead!
the tree step theory does seem more plausible...
However it is a good lesson, especially for the shotgun/rifle where more immediate trauma is created by the shot. I learned my lesson the hard way when I was in my teens. Shot a decent 8-pt in the head/neck area (shotgun) as it was the only window i had. The buck went down like a ton of bricks and rolled down the steep hill I was hunting. He came to rest maybe 20 yards from the stand. I made of ton of mistakes from there. I got down immediately and went up to the deer. It was laying belly up against a tree and at that time I thought was clearly dying. In my excitement to tell my dad, i set my gun down about 15 yards from where he was laying and went back to the house to get my dad, a knife, and rope. On the way back to the deer, we got about 15 yards from the gun and the deer stood up and ran off. We ended up tracking him a half mile or so and lost blood as he went through state land and onto another private property. We never did recover him. Best I can figure is that I shot it in the jaw area and the slug knocked him out cold.
Needless to say I learned a lot from that experience.

Look at the eyes. You can tell if there if life in them. Hard to explain but you can tell if they are looking at you or if there’s no life in them

Hooves can cut someone up as well. Any videos I have seen of a deer attack on youtube, the deer was on its hind legs kicking with its fronts instead of using antlers.
