OK OK that looks pretty real lmao,,i dont even know what to say theres no words for the size of that deer,,Glad he got him if he would of missed he might have hung himself lmao!!!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Seriously, you need to slow your roll and read. The people involved in taking that deer did so illegally, therefore poaching it.

[RifleSharpShot]

Like i said i couldn't and still can't load the link lol i think you need a nap your a bit cranky lol,,But hey nice deer anyway wish i could have got em!!

[dave6x6]

From everything i've read, yes the deer is legit but was taken illegally and charges filed. That is unless you read the Elite forum which states the guy was fraimed, railroaded, part of some right wing bow industry conspiracy and will be cleared of all unfounded charges in a court of law.. We'll see.

[RifleSharpShot]

I hope he got it legal,It would be worth the laugh!!

[RifleSharpShot]

And i could swear the pic above says"The deer is legit"...So I guess it's not me that needs to ,"slow my role"

A deer can have as many points as its rack can make. Below is the Barnacle buck. It has 134 scoreable point. Barnacleism is thought to be a result of a testie or both being removed somehow causing the deers hormones to go crazy. Besides the Duppers made a song about shooting a 30 point buck so there has to be such a thing.

Now that is a wild pic lol!!Nice gotta learn something new everyday i wish i could see one of these monsters in real life!!

[erussell]

I say scoreable loosely. I think They are considered altered or freaks of nature so they are not scored or kept in record books.

The deer is legit, meaning its a real deer. If you cant understand what I was saying, I dont know what to tell you. You seem to be posting in alot of threads without apparently reading them first. There are two links to info on the deer in this thread, one of which is to another thread about the same deer on this site.

[tughillhunter]

its a shame that they illegally took that deer. That buck looks like one of those ghosts of the woods. id pee my pants if one of those bruisers walked in shooting range. lol
