RE: Big Buck
How quick we are to judge.
Seems to me that last time this pic came up everyone was claiming fake...then somebody found a source.....don't remember who or where....that said it was real.If I remembercorrectly...whichI'm pretty sureI do.....what actually happened was that the deer was gut shot and gases escaped into the skin, bloating the deer, causing itto appear solarge. Again...this is just what I remember...I wish I had something to back it up with.....but I don't..only my memory. Maybe someone else can find the info I'm talking about.
You guys remember the pic of the buck with rediculously long tines and beams....everyone screamed fake at the top of their lungs....then it was pointed out that the pic was real.....just a Taxi had added some length to the antlers.....again, it was a real pic that people jumped on too quick.

RE: Big Buck
Here's one link to a previous thread....I'm still searching.
The link to the actual article doesn't work.....its been purged, but the basic idea is there. The pic is real...the actual weight may be questionable...but the pic is real.
