Illinois Buck (is it real)

Just got this on my cell phone.

The guy that sent it says he thinks it's for real.

The message with it said: " Greenville area 320 38pt 40 in spread 31 beam 6.5 bases farmer shot him"

What do you folks think?

EXACTLY, that photo has already made it's rounds on several different forums over the last couple weeks.

The good news though, Illinois has already produced a couple of non-typ bowkills this season that will score in the 230's-240's B&C.

You can't tell by just looking at it? I can tell by looking at it. It wasn't done very well.

Oh really?? I see very distinct lines and several areas where tines are touching the truck bed backed up by shadows. If that is photoshopped, whoever did it could make a career of it.

There was a little more info on one of the IL. websites today. Seems they have gotten a little more info that this was a pen raised deer from Greenville.

It looks fake to me, but who knows. The way ranches hand raise monster bucks today, you never know. If it is real, I bet the guy forked out a huge amount of money to take him.
