Bonehunter, I see your point on the pictures. I have the darndest time getting some people to understand where I'm coming from. I'm not worried about anti-hunters so much as taking a good picture! WHy won't people take 2 second and stick that durn tounge in, or leave the car that's on blocks out of the background, etc? People also hurry; they wanna snap one blurry pic in the back of the truck when they have shot a world record or something. Take multiple shots! I had a friend snap a pic of me this year, and I was pulling a leaf off the deer's eye. He's like, "Let's take it, that's real, don't worry about it!" Why would you want a pic with a leaf on the deer like an eye patch??

some thing else to consider on the picture subject.
When we see big buck we assume the hunter is an avid hunt to the end dyed in the wool hunter like so many of us are.
Yes this guy is a hunter... he hunts. But first and foremost he is a farmer. Im not positive but I would bet he doesnt belong to any internet forums and I bet he doesnt own any scent lock or any other of the latest gadgets so many of us know about and use.
I guarantee He's as proud of this deer as any of us would be but showing it how he is means no disrespect to the animal, he just doesnt know "our" protocol on kill pictures.
The first picture posted is in his driveway, the one I posted is in a neighbors driveway which tells me he probably went around showing it off to anyone and everyone he knows who is also a "hunter".

For what it is worth..
I have known Mr. Hartley for a number of years. He and my son went to school together, played sports together and he spent the night at our house a number of times.
Even back then he enjoyed deer hunting and I know for a fact he has access to some PRIME hunting spots. (I also hunt the Logansport area.) I received the same photo via email with the information that I used in my weekly newspaper column.
In MY opinion, IF Mr. Hartley stated he took this deer legally.. I would be the LAST person to accuse him of falsifying facts.... I admit.. I have NOT personally taken such a animal or even seen one like it in over 44 years of deer hunting BUT... IF I was EVER fortunate enough to take one like it, I would probably be VERY apprehensive to post it ANYPLACE for fear of being considered a "Cheater" or taking it illegally..
CONGRATULATIONS Greg... FANTASTIC ANIMAL..Maybe you should have stated the OBR was responsible for your success and for this buck getting so big. Maybe it would have been accepted better..
GOOD HUNTING..
Bud Fields
