Did anyone happen to see this photo that is similar to that one that is posted in the gallery?

Just getting my first cup of coffee for the morning, but this picture looks legit to me....all those legs and tags......heck I dont know what to trust anymore? 

Maybe this ol' boy is a taxidermist, and took all them for mounting?

I still don't understand leaving hide on a deer, even for a couple of hours...but that is just me...

Could be legit. They look like they have been hung by their back legs for awhile. Remember some areas hang their deer for days with the hide on.

Hey Iceman, I grew up in Wisconsin and the gun deer season is 9 days long, some our deer were hanging the entire 9 days hide on and then some. Allot of the folks there just hang them up by the neck then after the season and camp is all packed then bring them to the registration station then to the butcher who may even let them hang for a few more days till they have time to get to them.

When the hunters in the state kill 300,000 to 500,000 deer every year the butchers get pretty busy so it may be a couple months before you see your meat.

I can almost hardly believe we (I) used to do that, after living here since the early 90's the hide must come off ASAP no question it makes for better dinner !!!

there are more deer than hunters..... but back east lots of states let you kill more than one buck, and alot of clubs have their own size limits, and alot of them practice serious management on their leases...looks like a great season to me.         it can be hard to resist,, but the internet just breeds scepticism
