Not all are hoaxes though. I received a text of New record buck from Butler Co KY (where I hunt) early opening morning of rifle season...with a pic of an ungodly huge deer with 3 drops.

Turns out, it was legit...the guy was a hunter leasing land from GA, had to spend like half the day with DNR to squash any doubts of being legit, and everything was real...Rough scored in the 260s, which makes it dang close if not the new state record. I still havent been over to my Hoyt shop where the guy checked it in to see better pics yet.
