he wouldnt let them x ray it... shady
There was also a Michigan Conservation Officer there when he pulled it out of the woods that vouched for it, and some other friends.
Deer and Deer Hunting, a well respected publication, did a story on it and concluded it was real.
If nothing else, a conservation officer, respected publication and three well known, and respected official scorers all put their reputations on the line and vouched for it. They would have alot to lose, wouldn't ya think?
I don't know if it's real but I do know that whenever a guy kills a big buck, hunters always start from the perspective it is fake, photoshopped, poached or something else is wrong. I believe Larry and Craig took advantage of this and ran with it, fed into that hunters-eating-their-own or jealous attack mindset, and this is what we have now.
Think about it, you've seen it with your own two eyes...other people, with reputations to uphold, have seen it, handled it,and say it's real. What does he have to prove? If you think it's fake, the burden of proof lies with you to prove it's fake, not the other way around.
The only reason most hunters are willing to believe this is fake is becuase they didn't kill it, and like always happens when someone else kills a big buck, hunters try to smear them, start rumor campaigns, or try to discredit the accomplishment. This case is no different, except that it's a really big buck.
By the way how can you say that? Do you have proof he is ligit
The dozens of other trophy whitetails he has killed pretty much speak to that as proof. The guy consistently kills some monster bucks where other people say there are none. That doesn't mean this one is real, but there sure isn't any
evidence it's not real, and not one person who has seen it or touched it is saying it's fake. The only people who are saying it's fake are those who have never even been near the buck.
