Here's a better picture.
This deer is going to score real well even as a typical. |

I think this deer green scores 250. I'm guessing it might have a shot at breaking the Hanson buck world record typical if it is legit. Even after deductions and the abnormal drop points, it is going to score very well net typical as a main frame 12pt.

No Way
I ain't buying it. I may be wrong. Those horns are over ten inches wider than that fellow at the shoulders?? My bet is on a cropped picture. Tom.

Time will tell I guess. You may be right. But we will know more soon.

A little more realistic view. My brother has a friend of a friend. I do believe that one shot was either a enhanced version, or a strange angle.
I see a split brow tine on this one that is not on the other. The brow tine looks a little more like one of the other antlers. Last edited by Dr. A; December 19, 2008 at 10:52 AM. |

Dr. A.,
Thanks for the picture. I would like to see another head on. It definately looks smaller than the other, no doubt, but it's still looks to be a very huge rack. If you hear anymore, let us know. |

If you look at the original picture, look at the size of the guy's fingers. He's using the same photo technique you see in a lot of fishing photos: hold the fish as far away as you can to make it look bigger. That's why the horns appear to extend 10" either side of the guy.
If he really had hands that big, I would pray he's not a proctologist! All that being said, that is still an incredible rack. Double drop tines on both sides almost symetrically! Very rare. |

Out of curiosity, I copied this photo and pasted it into a cheapie photo application to see if it had something other than a standard aspect ratio that would hint at cropping. It measures 610X458, but if you bump it up to 105%, it's 640X480 - a standard aspect ratio. My guess: Authentic. Wow! Nice buck! |
