You're right! I found the story here:

“Yes, it is a legitimate buck. I mean, we are a high-fence operation—I want to be clear about that--but this is a real buck,” said Shorty. “It was taken last September and weighed 420 pounds live-weight--the heaviest deer that’s ever been shot on our place. In fact, your readers can go on our website and watch the video of the hunt.
“Our client hunted this deer for 11 days. We’d had very warm weather and this buck just would leave his bed in a cedar swamp during the day. But it finally cooled off, and the hunter caught the buck making its way from the swamp to a food plot. He was so pumped, he just went nuts. He was kissing the deer.”
Last fall, Wilderness Whitetails clients shot 38 bucks over 200 inches, including one 340-incher. Now, whether or not you call high-fence hunting “hunting” is a separate question, which you’re welcome to address in your comments. (Would you take a free hunt at Wilderness Whitetails?). But the answer to the question so many people seem to be asking is yes, the photo is for real. Check out their promotional video.

These bucks are big, but to me they don't really get me that impressed because they are fed with all kinds of growth enhancements and you name it! :bash: :bash: Now if these bucks were on public land and naturally grown then I would be dropping my jaw!
I'm with you. I didn't find out it was a high fence buck until after I posted. Now, I'm so ashamed. :sry:

The good part about this story is atleast they told the truth about this buck and not tried to juice it up... I bet that was one big gut pile though!!!:yeah: :chuckle: :chuckle:

That's an "artificial" deer. It's just not real. I wonder how a fat buck like that would fare if it had to deal with cougars, coyotes , and wolves on a daily basis?

Sorry but I'm not impressed.

The heaviest whitetail ever killed was in 1926 in MN, with an estimated live weight if 511 pounds.
"The heaviest whitetail ever shot was killed by a bow-hunter, John Annett of Ontario, in 1977. The deer field dressed 431 pounds on government-certified scales. That would have given it an estimated live weight of more than 540 pounds".
Compliments of google. :chuckle:

That just doesn't sound right :chuckle: I just noticed that there is a 109lb. difference between field dress and live weight....for both of them. Interesting.
Second place seemingly belongs to a 402-pound Minnesota buck killed by Carl Lenander Jr. in 1926. Conservation officials estimated the live weight at 511 pounds.
