New world record Nontypical whitetail found dead?

Why did he rub them with neat's foot oil? To keep them from shrinking as much? It just doesn't feel right to me for some reason.

The story seems a little ridiculous, though of course that in and of itself doesn't mean anything.

As far as the antlers go, when you look at the drop portions of the antlers that look exactly like regular antlers upside down---- that strikes me as improbable. Wierd drop points on non-typicals often look more bulbous and don't curve that perfectly, probably due to the effects of gravity. Some of those non-typical parts look as if you could snap them off and put them on another deer's head right side up and not notice a problem. This is particularly noticeable on the youtube vid. To me it looks like a rack with other antlers glued on it.

And why is a shed stuck in it?

As far as a deer being that big, it's possible. The world record is 333".... a totally wild buck. The hole in the horn is very nearly that big and so was the Minnesota monarch.

Okay FAKE looks like a bunch of sheds put together. The guy that posted the video on youtube is pretty adamant that its real

Fake - you can clearly see an antler back-wards on the right side with the brow tine facing toward the base, but you never know these days what you might find.

The guys in Georgia that reportedly found a dead bigfoot a few years ago claimed that was real as well. I call BS.
