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.

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.

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.
