I'd say its real.

Y'all go sit in a frozen lake for a few minutes then go curl up in a ball on concrete. We'll see how active you are, even with people around you.

He is definately alive. You can see, especially in the first two pics, his eyes are in different postitions. Also, his eyes are nose is pretty wet, and his hide is wet. Just my thoughts.

I'll cast my vote! I'd say it's alive my opinion comes from the eyes as well. The deer the DNR uses still have glass eyes in themand the skin doesn't fold as natural.100% Alive.... at least when the pics were taken.

old news and a shame

http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1867826&mpage=1

and i still say the same as before

How did they get it to stand up like that?
acting pretty much like a "downer cattle" in livestock circles, the picture part is pretty sad, i would have just left the animal where it was until it could be put down. but at a plant like that if someone had said i'll go get my gun, that person would have been fired quicker than the deer could have been dispatched. keep posting willyd5, the deer is sick but alive, i would have really perferred the paticipants left him alone[&o], some folks just don't know any betterand that is a shame.

BTW, i have had goats do the same way, they cannot stand up on their own, but you can get them up, give them antibiotics, and hope they make it, some do, some don't, i have even held them up and as soon as you let go they get wobbly, they actually appear that their head is the heaviest part of their body and they will just fall out, i have alsoused hot-stick to get cows back up. but when an animal gets as sick as that deer is it probably has no idea of what is going on. jm2cfwiw
