I go to school for graphic design and work extensively in photo shop. To me there are no blatant indications that it was tampered with. Not saying it isn't altered cause it can definitely be done successfully and you would never know. To me it looks legit, but there is no way you can tell just by looking. If it is tampered it is a good job, at least to my eyes.

Looks real enough to me. The second picture appears to qualify the first one.

There was a little more info on one of the IL. websites today. Seems they have gotten a little more info that this was a pen raised deer from Greenville.

Pen raised deer already qualifies it as a zero class deer in my book (not that it is the deers fault). The same guys that see the flawed beauty in harvesting a gentically modified and controled growth domesticated pet are the same ones taht are pissed off that Barry Bonds is the MLB Homerun King.
