RE: 215" Taken in Louisiana
WOW...that is a lot of bone to be hauling around! I agree with Rob in the "where's the blood?" , but I was also thinking that the reason they didn't have it dressed out yet was waiting on a taxi to do it for a full body mount.When I looked at the other pics though; I see that they caped it out, but it looks to me like they kind of short sided themselves with that even. Was it just me or does it look like he still has velvet in that last pic where they have him caped out? If he does have velvet yet, is that normal this late in the year in LA?

im just thinking if they shot it with a bow and he has only been shooting for a few months so its probly #60 or under and by how big that deer is maybe he didn't get a pass threw and we are looking at the clean side. just puting that out there it does look alittle fishy tho

I hate to be "the one", but this smells of high fence, game farm, etc. I live one state over and let's just be honest, we don't kill deer like that in the South... It is possible, sure, but HIGHLY unlikely.... I home I'm wrong..

I couldn't find anything about it on the net right now. Hopefully more details will come out. I'm very curious.
I didn't think we grew them like that either, but I don't think it is "impossible" in the Mississippi river oxbows
and delta = good soil, lots of natural minerals, lots of crops, lots of cover, and genetics may not be local
due to importation of big deer from other areas.

It looks like there is some blood smeared on the underside of the deer. Not much put it does look a little redish.
