This doesn't look real to me. Mighty fresh rubs that don't look like a deer made them - more like a backhoe or something. I believe someone found the deer and placed it in the tree, but that's just me. Big deer though.

Looks like a beaver was chewing on that tree. :shock:
The two trees in the back ground of the first pic look like real rubs but, not too sure how that deer could have torn up that tree he is in that bad. :?

I htink it is real, notice the stomping marks around the bottom of the tree. Also, llok at how around the carcass, the ground is all dead looking, just like when you find a rotting animal. If it's fake, someone went through a lot of work to make it look real. Guess we'll never know.

I think it's real. Notice the discoloration of the antler that is stuck in the tree from the sap.

I guess I was wrong. This is a response from the guy at fouraranch.com:

This happened in Feb 06. These particular trees are a popular rubbing spot for the bucks. I had been by this spot on Fri, then went out of town for the weekend. I found him on Monday. It took two of us to pull the trees apart in order to free the antlers. He was 3 1/2 years old. I sent the original email out to some other ranchers and some of our hunters to illustrate yet another way to lose our deer. Mother nature can be very cruel. Hope he broke his neck before the coyotes got him.
