Default 412lb. Buck

Does anyone here know anything about this buck?
A friend E-Mailed these pictures to me and told me that it was taken with a bow in Clarion County Pa.

Old news.

Been circulating for about two years.

The majority of folks I've talked to think its photoshopped. There is a larger photo posted over on AT right now where you can clearly see why people think its photoshopped.

These smaller pictures make it a little more difficult.

The story it originated with was it was from Nebraska, I believe.

I think that one is fake! But there was a 375 lbs deer shot in Roseau, MN a couple years ago!

RD, it is in fact FAKE. Please reply to all the email recipient and senders and squash this stupid rumor. IT WAS NOT TAKEN IN PA and is in fact like WH said, old news. This has been around for years.

Everyone that can squash this falsehood THE BETTER!

That wasn't a fake photo, but the weight was actually about 275! I read about that buck a few months ago, but to be honest I can't remember where. What I read was that the buck had some type of infection and that the large appearance was due to a combination of trapped gases and fluids! In other words it was swollen! The link may have been somewhere in these forums!
