Wow is right. I believe that guy is the owner of Elkins taxidermy, which I live very near the area.

Not sure what to make of this one. I pulled it up on FaceBook and at the bottom of that page it said - "This website is an entertainment website, news are created by users. These are humourous news, fantasy, fictional, that should not be seriously taken or as a source of information."
Real or not, that is the question...

Wes, Dale is the owner of Elkins Taxidermy.
Woody, wife just forwarded it to me. I am NOT a facebook participater, so I did no research.
I will delete it if you want. No problem.

No problem Deadeer.. Leave it be..Its fun.. I went one step further and I pulled up www.react365.com/Where it says .. PRANK YOUR FRIENDS WITH FAKE NEWS! I guess someone is "pranking" Dale... When it hits FaceBook it is off and running.. Heck of a nice deer though. I wonder what the real story is behind it?

I just saw the last name and assumed it was the owner of Elkins taxidermy, guess I was wrong. I don't use Facebook either. Even if it's a joke that's a nice deer.

What struck me as odd was the mention of "state record". No buck is a state record until it is officially scored after the 60-day drying period.

Lol fake.
My in laws are from hudson Lake and I spent a few evenings in Dale's basement before he built the current set up. Learned to skin coons and butcher deer there. Great guy.

Just quick search and it was a roadkill in Pennsylvania last year too. Didn't go any farther after that.

Well, sorry about the initial excitement when seeing this. If it wouldnt have shown as being from my county, and from a last name I recognized, I would have said nice deer and forgot about it. I thought the same thing when I saw 28pt and state record. Oh well. Nice deer nevertheless.

Further investigation, seems the consensus is it was a roadkill in Michigan. 2012 seems to be the year. You'd be surprised some of the bucks they are killing in pa since antler restrictions have kicked in. Lots of brutes even killed off public land up in the mountains. Lots changed since Alt was run out on a rail.

I recognize that deer we gave him the camera name of BULLWINKLE and I am surprised someone shot him because we were figuring he would be a good deer in about another year or so. Just another Laporte county deer taken before his prime.
You can believe me because this is the internet and it wouldn't be truthful if it was on the internet or facebook.

That site is responsible for several teens in my area having "felony warrants" out for the arrests. People are taking photos of kids Facebook page and building news stories where they are wanted for one thing or another.
Not good.
