Setting the camera up so close does give it a fisheye type effect but a wide angle lense will give the same effect and is probably what they used. I've seen severalpictures of a deerthat a friend of mine shot that had this type of effect. One of them looked about half the size of this deer but only had about 14" of spread, in the picture it looked wider than his shoulders, it was taken with a regular digital camera.
True, but I have never been able to make a buck look like it had a rack 5 feet wide such as this one does. In any case, the buck is awesome and didn't need any help looking big.
