Impressive MI Whitetail taken today

[Fatherof5]

Lots of deer farms in MI, skeptical if its 100% wild 

looks just like those farmed whitetails, I would love the look if it was wild though.  Any farmed freak deer, just do nothing for me, cool for furniture or lamps maybe.

It could be a farm raised deer. However I'm from Ohio, and I was out riding one evening and I saw one that was a tad smaller than the one in question. There were no deer farms in the area and unfortunately I never saw it again after that.

Looks like there are at least a couple other deer laying in the background....

Nice MI whitey, Matt.

In reference to the 52-pointer, the body does look very small for a deer that would've had to mature for years in the wild to attain that kind of headgear. Still reserving judgement, but...

The hunter looks happy. 

Doesn't look like the Hunter to me , more like the Butcher posing with a Clients buck . Which would make me mad if I was the hunter and didn't want it all over Social Media

100% thats him.  People are pathetic, shooting these livestock deer and trying to pass them off as legitimate.  This isnt the first time and wont be the last.

Different place, people, culture, practices.  Not sure its being passed off as anything other than a big dear. 
Hating will rot your soul.

     Oh give me a break, its michigan.  Nowhere in american hunting culture is it considered fair chase or even hunting to kill a pen raised domesticated deer that you picked out of a catalogue.  Thats why these giant livestock deer arent on magazine covers, dont have articles written about them, and are ineligible for any sort of record books.

Not sure its being passed off as anything other than a big dear.

By making an excited post like that about the big buck that got brought in, but leaving out the little detail that it was not a wild animal, theyre implying by omission.

Well gee, maybe i should have no personal standards on what is acceptable, throw all morals out the window and just accept any sort of behavior regarding any subject.  Maybe b&c, p&y, sci etc should remove the hate in their souls and start allowing these pen raised deer to be entered in the books.  What hateful judgemental bigots

Anyone with cash can shoot that big or bigger. During my texas trip I saw cull deer on the wall at a high fence operation that are 200 plus deer....the grow them 300 inches plus. Bizarre looking.  Heck, i whacked an axis doe,  had to shoo them off the fence to take the shot. Made some meat, no hunting involved, only killing.

Nothing deeply wrong with it (meat is meat) but I'd take a wild doe over farmed buck any day.
