Aside from the fact he is holding up a monster with barely two fingers....and the deer appears gutted or eaten already on the hind quarters. My guess is he is trying to pass of a deer he found with one he shot.
Or he cut the ear off to take away the tag in it.

Does juniper grow in Alabama?
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Does juniper grow in Alabama? I don't know, but I could have taken that picture at my place.

Does juniper grow in Alabama? They have a White Cedar that in now way resembles our native Junipers. That one caught my eye also.

I was wondering if this picture was going to pop up on here. I work in Cabelas Gun Library in Huntsville, AL and this brute was supposedly shot a few minutes from where I live. The story is that it was shot on some airport land that only a couple of people can hunt on. One of my coworkers was showing this picture yesterday, I didnt notice that the ear was gone. There is another picture of it with a crossbow bolt stuck in the ribs, apparently it was shot previously shot but didnt penetrate past the skin. I have no idea whats true or not but this picture is spreading quick.

People are swearing they know the guy and this was a low fence buck but nobody answers to why the right ear was photo-shopped out.

I have no idea whats true or not but this picture is spreading quick. There is another picture of it with a crossbow bolt stuck in the ribs Seen that picture also. So far I've seen 5 pictures of this buck, 2 had the right ear photo-shopped out, 1 was cropped so you couldn't see the ear clearly and the 4th had the inside of the ear enhanced with white (phot-shopped). The pic with the arrow in it didn't show the ear well. Somebody has went to allot of trouble to keep people from seeing that right ear. Only reason I can think of to do all that is a possible hole in the ear where a tag went. Even if I'm wrong and the buck is legit somebody is going to have to explain the phot-shopping on that right ear. The photo-shop scars in the picture are obvious, very poorly done.

If it came off a hi-fence I'm pretty sure somebody has a picture of it while alive.

I am still trying to figure out how he is balancing that animal on its front knees with barely a grip on the antlers. Only way to do that is if the animal had some significant rigor which means it's been dead for a while. Maybe he was a hf escapee, shot with a bow and lost blood trail, found dead the next morning after being half eaten and gutted by coyotes, and that's where the ear went.... ![banana banana](/forum/images/graemlins/default/banana.gif)

On my Alabama forum, they are saying it was shot close to an airport in Meridianville. That airport backs up to my property line. Lots of good deer country around here, but the only one I've seen was was a doe that was a tad slow crossing the road. Alabama Hunting Forum

Right ear is gone due to the fact that's where the ear tag was. The jacket is is covering the hit from the semi that crushed that poor boy as it went across the road. Alabama sure is green in the dead of winter............looking at the foolage. Thank me later ![popcorn popcorn](/forum/images/graemlins/default/popcorn.gif)

one guy said "they dont count the ones that go down..." also, spellcheck/auto-correct, obviously not a big player in alabama...

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.
