kneckshot 1 don't let these clowns curtail you from posting. They are just jealous and are part of the reason why others have stopped posting pics also. They don't know when to compliment or bite their tongue.

I might still post pics, but will not post details.

I blacked. The eyes so my daughter wouldn be freaked yes the kneck is broken and it is a stick holding his head up thats blood on the horns because I didnt have any water around when I was draging it and it was last  minute pic but after this I will not post any thing else

. Congrats on the deer. All you needed is to explain the situation like you just did. U wouldn't taken the Bassein .

Looks like a legit photo to me minus the eyes there's no degradation upon close inspection of the pixels around the head and or neck. Unless hes the best photoshop artist in the world, I believe its a legit photo just in a strangly awkward pose.
Its funny how half you guys are like a firing squad and just wait to try to hate on any and everything that's not perfect, ethical, or against what you believe or think. Same reason why alot of people dont come on here much anymore. Getting really tired of some of the negativity on this forum, it gets way out of hand quick.
In short, some of you are a holes.
Even if it somehow is a fake (which I highly doubt) no need to be rude.

Been thinking the same thing for awhile Smossy.  Think I've said something similar not too awful long ago.  Some people can't help themselves but to cut someone else down because of there smaller than average "personality".

Would take a real stupid sum gun to post pictures of an illegal animal on a message board.  Doubt there is anything not legit about this deer.  Picture is a little off, but who gives a rats behind?

Photo looks legit to me as well. After opening it in an editing program I could only see an edit to the antler (besides the eyes). The head, neck and even the stick all seem to be part of the original photo.

There are way too many negative remarks regarding photos and we are taking notice.

Lots of people, myself included, don't post as much as they would like (if at all) because there seems to be a some members that are just waiting to slam others.

Now if you ask "how big", "what's it score" or say a 10lb fish weighs 15lbs then be prepared for the onslaught. But if you post an antlerless/spike deer, you should not have to be worried that someone will call you out for wasting a tag or for killing a doe.

We don't have a plan yet, but we want everyone to feel free to post.

C'mon MEN , if any 20 of us were sitting around a campfire with each other and one of us said "hey, check out this deer I shot" and passed a pic like that around , what would the comments be ? Probably real similar to what gets typed on here. I agree there are things that are out of line and usually get deleted. Please don't frown on a bunch of guys sitting around a "campfire" busting someone's balls. Isn't that what this is?

I think it's a cool buck, but what ya do chop it's head off first?

Yeah, but you got to remember, these are the days where everyone makes the team, no one wins or loses, and everyone gets a trophy.

Shame on people for doubting/questioning a really strange photo.... A photo in which the OP could have just explained, in the first place, instead of letting it ride for so long.

This isn't your average campfire, This is a forum where a majority of people are strangers to each-other and no one knows one another, Everyone sits behind a username.
Just because its a campfire, doesnt mean you automatically have permission to trash people.
Its more of a "lets talk about random nonsense" kinda thing.
Website aside, I dont think should be poppin off with the negativity without knowing the other person.
"Bob you know that was your doe you put a bucks head on " not "I think the OP is a fraud troll "

Get my drift?

Wish I could get your drift but I can't , I just read through both strange threads about this buck and the most derogatory comment I read was you calling half these guys a holes. :dunno:This will just go round and round so I'm out of it, sorry.

[Muleyslyr]

not this one again ignore it folks who ever is posting it is obviously a non-english speaking 9 year old troll. Let him or her get his or her jollies they'll grow up eventually 

singleshot..you've been around this site along time, kinda surprised you'd jump a guys sh.t for really just posting a pic of a buck without a bunch of details. He doesn't owe us an explanation. Does it really matter if he didn't take Eastmans class on how to take great field photos, or he blackened out the eyes? Maybe they had a glare to em and he was just trying to clean it up a bit. I've taken solo pics of animals I've killed before using a stick to hold his head up cuz I thought it showed the animal better. And because the guy doesn't use proper punctuation he's a 9yr old troll? Idk man, gotta say you and all the negative guys "sitting around the campfire" sound like the trolls to me.

[singleshot12]

That pic had all the ingredients of a hoax. From the covered up eyes, to the separated head,to the inked out tag,and to the blood soaked bleached antlers. Just doesn't look like the norm pacific nw blacktail pic But my apologies if it isn't a hoax

I agree.  It's a public forum.  If you have thin skin don't post.
