The more I see of that pic, the more it doesn't look right. The man looks too out of focus compared to the rest of the pic. And where is his camo and weapon?????Where is is hand on the rack????

What a waste. That buck would have been awesome in a few years.

Dang, he was prolly still suckin on momma's hind teet when he was shot

I think yourright Preacher,I am certain I saw spot. You need to look close.

Seriously man, you need to lighten up on the conspiracy theories. If you search around there are other pics withthe buck and the hunter. There is a post on here with them. I'll see if I can find it and edit this with the link. It is the potential new ND state record so I'm sure it is legit.

It's a shame that any time someone gets a slammer anymore they have to deal with everyone doubting them. Can't we be happy for and support our fellow hunters' successes?

Here's that link:

i'm thinkin some of you's guys might be a little jaded... that buck is a friggin bruiser!!! i doubt any of us would have let that thing pass our stands without gettin a shot... I know I sure wouldn't have...

SevenMag - are you serious?

That deer would walk by me with out a second thought - Only because I would be in to much shock to drawn on him. Of course we would take that deer. Sarcasm my friend.

Unbelievable,....that guy has no idea about quality deer management. If you want to grow big deer you have to let those little ones like thatgo. ;-)

Haha......no offense.
