430 lb. Whitetail??? Hoax? Wow!

[RexKay]

has anyone seen or heard of this. I'm not sure if a hoax, or if not, I'm assuming this was a ranch deer. I was shown pic from a coworker on some Facebook wall. I said " send it to me".. Caption says 430 lb deer shot in Hartland, Michigan..any one see or hear about this?? If not fake than....WOW

My buddy sent me that picture a week, or so ago. He does not know if it's legitimate, or not.

Largest whitetails ever:

"From what we can gather, the heaviest whitetail ever shot was killed by a bow-hunter, John Annett of Ontario, in 1977. The deer field dressed 431 pounds on government-certified scales. That would have given it an estimated live weight of more than 540 pounds. However, reports indicate the buck was butchered before Canadian authorities could inspect it.

Second place seemingly belongs to a 402-pound Minnesota buck killed by Carl Lenander Jr. in 1926. Conservation officials estimated the live weight at 511 pounds."

My son told me about this deer and to look it up on the internet.I did and it seems to be for real field an stream done a write up on it. Deer was in a fenced in area. I've never seen or heard of anything like it..... That would make me jump out of a tree stand and run for a bigger bow, gun,or rocket launcher .................
