I'll give the same opinion I gave the last two times these pics were posted here.Mytake may be hit or miss here or there, but overallhere's how the deal looks to me after listening to the theories, seeing the pics, and using good old fashion logic:
There are many reports of deer trying to gore, fight,or attempt to breedstatues of deer.If this buck in questionhad tried to 'scoop'theconcrete 'decoy'from the side as they usually do when attacking or positioning a doe for breeding, he may have gotten his antlers under the deer and become locked as shown.After getting stuck under the concetedeerit appears hehad been struggling for a while as evident by the bare dirt surrounding the deer in the photos. Anyway, he's trapped andsomeone, most likelythe homeowner or close neighbor,found this buck in a bad situatuton or near deathand called up the "hero" of the story, who comes over and shoots it a point blankrange. At what degree of "alive" it was when he took his shot, if he actually took a shot,is debatable. He sticks another arrow in it to back up aBS story and make it seem like this was an honorable kill to impress the masses. The arrows didn't penetrate very far because they hit the dirt after passing through the buck as he layed on his side. Neither one looks like a definate kill shot either way. Or, it's entirely possible one or both arrowsmay havebeen stuck in by hand.
Version two would be he saw this buck drinking from his birdbath, or trying to interact with the doe statue and he shot it right from his back door and comes up with some crazy plot to justify his kill.
Asthe "hunter"begins to get local praise and pats on the back, his ego overtakes his logic and he begins posting pictures of his conquest which erase all doubts as to the authenticity of his tale, asthe storybecomesobviously bogus from front to back.
Call me skeptical. I call 'em howI see 'em. I might be right, I might be wrong. All I know is either version of my"story" is 100% more likely and believablethan thescript that usuallyaccompanythese pics.
Very respectablebuck. Not sure about the "hunter".
