You cannot blame some one for having a batting cage at their house. I've seen pictures of deer caught in swing sets before.

That non-typical will be a great conversation piece, that is for sure.

Sucks for those deer.
Now i am not saying the story is not true or anything, but..... is it just me or the very first pic looks totaly fake, i cant quite see how the guy is holding up the deer, and well it just kinda looks funny, something about that pic is not right.
Now i would like to see more pics of the last deer (the typical), how did his right antler get cut off so evenly? :dunno:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I'm thinking the non typ looks goofy because of the fact that its frozen solid and rigormortis (sp)   has set in.

Look at the first pic real hard... photo shop. Look at the second pic, hard to see if it's real. Where's the snow on his neck? The last pic looks like the real one?  :dunno: I'd like to see a gamies report on something like that. In washington? ??????????????

Here are a couple of more of the typical.  I don't see any altered photos though I am certainly not an expert.   Don't see any reason for a fabricated story thought I imagine there could be lots of them.   Something that could  happen to anyone living in deer country, though it should only ever happen once.  In Kodiak, we took the seine net down ASAP.  Felt kind of bad, but that was a tasty buck after eating salmon for a straight month.

I don't think so. Think about it if you were going to photo shop something why would you put it in a goofy position like that? i think it looks too goofy to be fake. if that makes any sense... i just think thats what happens when a deer dies in a weird position and then is frozen for a week.

Both bucks are really nice and its a crazy story. I just don't see how you could be proud of getting two bucks like that. It would be different if you were out hunting all day and you got them a couple miles back in the woods.  :twocents:

looks real to me. I think if this happened to me I would take pics and prob mount them also. Doesn't mean I would be PROUD but its just something waaay out of the ordinary and a crazy story that I would definately share with people. If he was netting whitetail on purpose, witch would be a ridiculous accusation, it would be a different story. Nothing to be ashamed of in my opinion. cool story.
