RE: 412 lb buck in Nebraska?
This picture was on here last year, but I would definitely say it is possible for a deer to get that big....on one condition....Think what happens to a bull (cow) or dog when it gets castrated (They usually gain weight). It works the exact same way in most mammals, therefore I would say its just as possible in whitetails.

I think the heaviest deer killed by a hunter on record was estimated at just over 500 lbs live wieght. If I remember correctly it was killed in like the 20's or 30's. I'll try to find where I got this info to make sure I'm right on this.

that pic doesnt need to be photoshopped, look at how far behind the deer those guys are! of course it will look huge!...plus looks maybe gut shot which adds some 'bloat' factor.

I received an email today about this buck that was supposedly shot on an Indian reservation in Nebraska. It is said to be 412 lb.......didn't say if field dressed weight or live weight estimate. Does anyone know about this, or is just another internet hoax?
That's funny I got an E - Mail from a friend about this buck but it was taken in Clarion County Pa.
