Is this believable ?

[Goose]

LOL, Love it!
You'd never be able to get that thing across the water in that little boat of yours!

I believe it.... it was a multi page story if i remember right in the July 2008 issue of NA Whitetail.....I can't find it in thier sight but i did find a pic of another deer a different guy killed in canada and sent the pic in after reading thier story about the 412 buck.  If i remember right the 412 was shot poorly & recovered late...was wieghed via the tape.  The guy was hunting on a Native American Reservation out there  somewhere and was after bigger horns but could not pass the body size up...deer scored in the 130-140 range ...can't find my magazine right now but i will because this has got me curious as to the particulars again....If freaky humans can bounce out there at a thousand pounds or so ...i see no reason why a freak deer could not occur.  I saw a TV hunter pass a dwarf 110' whitetail hunting in texas once.  He did not have enough horns and everybody in the party felt sorry for him....i thought he would have made a cool coffe table as a full body mount[:D]

Actually......t'was I who killed the 412 pound monster!  Who do they think they are taking credit for my kill!!

[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

 
LOL! Between this and coining the phrase "D&DH geeks" (which I intend to use frequently), you get my vote for forum member of the month!

HA HA>..  very cool.
 
Regardless...this is a big deer. 
I don't think its 412 lbs.....although it may look like it from the pic.
When you shoot a big deer like that....you get him measure....weight...officially. RIGHT ??
 
I can't tell if its photoshop or not....but if...and if this is real.....WOW>

[Patriot]

If I ever shot a deer of that weight caliber, I'd definitely get him on an official scale.
 
Goose,
I may not even need a boat to get him across the river.  As bloated as he was, I could just float him across![:)][:)]

If that's real, the guy in the picture has a  HUGE left hand!

[rayf]

i've heard of 350 pounders out here before, but nothing 400+,  that would be a huge swampdonkey.

Patriot,
 
I don't know who these people are photoshopping the photo, you clearly shot that deer, I was there![:D]

[vipermann7]

patriot and reeper.. hilarious pictures.

it does look like a big deer. i never heard the story before. i always watch those shows on discovery and national geographic where they investigate that stuff. ive seen the "hogzilla" show about 20 times, but never the 400 lb deer story. i can believe that there is one out there somewhere, whether this one was or not, who knows. if there is one, it probably hangs out with big foot and champ.
