Is this real?
 

My wife had someone post this on Facebook. I am skeptical. I have seen other outragous claims before. Is this real or another fake? Oh yea, supposed to be 400 pounds.

That thing looks like a bloated tick.

Ostensibly, it could be real. But looks to be entirely Photoshopped to me.

The rear of the animal appears too close to the camera, and the head looks to be from another picture altogether.

There's no way something that obese could survive in the wilderness, it would be way to slow to avoid predators. Plus look at that guy. does he look like he ventured far into the wild to where no man has ever gone before to hunt that deer? No, where that guy hunts i'm sure that deer would have been at least seen before.

Not it is not..I got the same picture the other day with a different guy in it.

At some point will hunters draw the conclusion that a long hunting career is more than trophies.

That pic has been around for a while. And yes, that pic is photoshopped big time!

The anlers look like they have been put on a small head and the head put on a bloated body. PHOTOSHOPPED!!

That pic is real, NOT photoshopped, but the hunt is canned. http://www.wildernesswhitetails.com/Home.html The "hunt" is on film, high fence, they raise monsters and then charge those guys $15,000+ dollars to "hunt" one of them.

+1.......... I have received that one in forwarded e-mails from clients at least a half dozen times starting pretty close to 2 years ago.

See post #8 as he is spot on! The deer is from a canned hunt on one of those places where the deer are bred and then raised on steroids, LOL!
