RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Out of the millions of deer killed each fall, why is it so far fetched to believe that some photos may be real.

Every time a pic is posted of a large buck..... body or rack it is instantly called out as a fake. It never fails. As I said, I have no idea if it is real or not. I hope it is real,that would be pretty awesome.

It doesn't even have to be world class bucks either. Does any one remember the guy accusing me of photoshopping my head onto one of my photos last year :eek:It wasn't even close to a world class rack either.....

I just don't get it?

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I hear ya, if people spent as much time scouting big bucks as they do crying, and moaning, like a bunch of 7th grade girls we would have alot more pics of bucks to cry about.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

well just to throw this our there i am from nebraska and this deer is real..i believe it was shot outside of beatrice nebraska..saw it in the paper..not every picture is fake guys

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

That can't be right...Ranch said it was his from last year, and I saw the pictures!! :D:D:D(Nice job Ranch, that was great)

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Thanks stoneman..atleast someone's got a sense of humor..loosen up buckeyebuckhntr.I was just playin'...I wasn't calling it a fake,however this same pic is on a different forum,and someone posted that they e-mailed it to a friend and he said he saw the same pic 4 years ago,and it was a fake.Why be so uptight about it if it is?[8D]

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I wasn't necessary posting that in regards to you or anyone else in this thread in particular. It is just that nearly every time a big buckis posted people automatically cry photoshop.

I'm not being uptight...... I would just like to enjoy some nice photos and threads without the constant skepticism and negativity.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Oh I am feeling you on that one now.I have sensed alot of negativity on this forum since I first came here.Thereare alot of helpful people here that make this forum useful,but I too have noticed whenever you do something...mainly offerering help...You will get 2 or 3 that want to discredit your post,or question your intelligence,skills,..etc.You know....And you kind of have to get in a click.That's why I am just having fun by myself.Sorry if you felt I was dissing your post.I just thought it would be funny to do that.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

This post is a great example of why I quit posting my pic's on here. Every time 20 buttheads would get on and call them fakes. Who would go thru all that time to fake a picture? To impress people he dosn't know.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I have not stopped laughing yet...LOL

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Hillbilly , the quality of that pic is about the same as the origanal post . ie horable , or just a joke

To all who think the pic is reel , Id go see the eye doc.

Semi-pro 'chop.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

FAKE and this is why !!!
Did anyone see anything about this in any hunting magazine, I sure didn't.
If this was real don't you think one of the big hunting magazines would have printed an article about it.
Untill I see a magazine article about this giant,
it is a fake.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

i saw this on the deer hunting forum .... pen raised abviously ........and the
"hunter's" head is put on there

sault

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Wow now thats a giant deer.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I don't know about those pictures, the guys head does look altered to me in that 2nd picture.

But for those who do not think aderr can hit that weight :

Dean Coffman shot a 440 lb. buck in Iowa in 1962.

Horace Hinkley shot the heaviset deer ever officially recorded in Maine. Estimated to have weighed at least 450 lbs., but more probaly 489 lbs. live weight. (the buck was not weighed until 3 days after being killed, and it was hog dressed and 3 days of drying out and weighed 355 lbs). At least 2 more deer over 400 ls have been killed since in Maine, but details are sketchy.


Carl J. Lenander, Jr. killed on in 1926 that weighed 402 lbs. dressed. It was estimated to have weighed 511 lbs. alive. This weight was matched by George Himango in 1981.

If that thing is real, they should have captured it and put it on the PBR circuit. He would have given Bodacious a run for his money!

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

itd take a damn bazooka to drop that thing in its tracks

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I agree buckeye there is a lot of jealous hunters if you can call them hunters out there. It takes you years to harvest a real trophy as soon
as it gets out there somone calls you a liar or says you out lawed it.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

It looks like an elk in a costume, trick or treat![8D]

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Most of the deer hunting magazines are put together 3 months or more ahead of time. Every once in while a writer will put an "as I write this" in their article and clue you in. One I remeber was " as I sat in the woods yesterday oblivious to that mornings events in New York (9/11)" ...or something similar. The article was in the March issue.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I love to see real pictures myself.BUT if this is real I to believe
it will be in north american whitetail,or one of the popular deer hunting magizines!!:)

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

If i'm not mistaken, the unofficial record for estimated live weight for both Whitetails and Mule Deer is exactly the same............511lbs. A quote I found on a WI website shown below seems to back up the whitetail.

John Pettengill, the founder of Iron River, killed a 477 pound deer in 1905.
At that time, 73,000 people hunted in Wisconsin. There was a 20 a day season that lasted 20 days, November 11th to November 30th. The estimated total kill for the season was 6,000 the bag limit was 2 deer of either sex. The legislature had just banned salt licks and the use of dogs for deer hunting.
The Pettengill deer camp was several miles south of the town Iron River, a town with "more drunks per square foot than any other town in the United States. The camp had 12 hunters and one reported he saw a 400 pound deer. By the second day of season the 12 hunters had 11 deer, two wolves and a 43 pound lynx.
John hunted by himself on the 3rd day. He heard a branch crack, saw the deer about 100 yards away and fired one shot. The deer went down. According to an article from the Iron River Pioneer it was a 10 point buck, the bases were as think as a man's wrist. Suddenly the deer quivered and jumped to its' feet. With hair bristling, it charged Pettengill. John pulled a hatchet from his belt and hit it between the eyes.
The deer dressed weighted 367 pounds and had an estimated weight of 477 pounds.
In 1924, Robert Hogue shot a 386 pound deer near Hayward, with a live weight of 488 pounds. IN the years of 1937 and 1928, a total of 17 deer were killed that had live weight of 300 to 400 pounds.
In 1941, Arnold Peter shot a deer estimated at 478 pounds.
In Minnesota, in 1981 on the Fond du Lac Reservation, a Native American shot a 402 pound deer with a calculated weight of 511 pounds.

The guy's head in that one picture does look a little goofy, but to me it just looks like someone trying to photoshop their picture on the original just to make it look like "They" killed the buck.....maybe as a joke and that's the version of the picture we got. The pics of the actual deer and it's proportion to the guys looks legit and that's a hog of a body.
I can beleive a deer that came from NE could have a 400lb live weight......I'm guessing they mean an estimated live weight when they state 411lbs. Dressed weight would lower the odds of that being legit considerably.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Look at this elkIt was 10,000Lbs took it with my fiber glass kiddy bow and a sharp piece of tin foil. Then I hit it over the head with a beer bottle and cut its neck with toe nail clippers

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

[8D] Thanks Rich, I needed a good laugh and you show an excellent reason why so many pictures are questioned.....you can't believe anything you see anymore....;)

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

I saw this post but didnt read it. Then I saw all the play it was getting, and decided to see what was being said. To me, that size deer, while enormous, isnt unheard of. Ihad a feelingI would see this kind of response! I mount huge midwest bucks every year, and 350 lb brutes are not all that uncommon, and bigger bucks, while not so common, do exist. If a guy was going to go to all the trouble to fool some of the "experts" in here, dont you think hed go bigger, and try to break a record? Thats a huge buck for sure, and I have no reason not to believe it. I have seen many captive raised bucks over 400 lbs. Some dont want to believe it, thats fine. Now, show me a 550 or 600 lber, and Im as skepticle as anyone. That picture shows a typical midwest hawg, plain and simple.

By the way, great elk pic, Rich, that was a good one!

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Yep, He put up quite a tussel I had to unload into himHe was so tuff I had to lick the ends to stick him

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

damn thats a big deer !!;)

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

There is no way that is photoshop, I have photoshop and there is no way you could do that. I does look fake but there is no way it is photoshoped

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

Yeah, I've seen this picture on other forums as well. Everyone thought it was photoshopped.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

If you look at the first picture the hand holding the antlers it looks like it has red fingernail polish on it. Is the guy a cross dresser? It looks photoshopped to me.

RE: 412 pound Neb. deer
 

There is no way that that is real, the one guy is dressed like oil field trash in the 1980"s, and the other guys, well don't get me started on those goof balls!
