Anything on the internet is likely fake in my books. That 50" muledeer being one of the more likely and suspicious looking candidates. That background and vegetation looks a lot more like Arizona than Idaho to me too.
But I'd sure like to see one on in person.

The one that looks like a texas longhorn is a fake. The head has clearly has been pasted onto that body, and not very well at that.

I'm pretty sure those pictures, at least the bottom one, were taken on the Tooele Army Depot in Utah. I saw them posted a while back on the Monster Muley's Forum and that's what the original poster said. I've heard there's some hogs between there and Antelope Island where there's no hunting allowed.

And yet another! These were sent to me by a biologist pard that recieved them from a co-working bio. in Idaho. Unfortunately, he managed to convince me that "full-disclosure" would forgo my availability as a participant in a Mulie hunt into the next century! best, bhtr

These bucks are NOT fake and they reside on private government land 25 miles from my home. Some of the pictures are from the Kennecot (sp) Copper Mine in Utah. My buddy lives right next to the property and 40 inch bucks are frequently seen, but too far to photograph. Once in a while they come down near the road or an employee snaps some pictures of them while patrolling the perimeter. There are more bucks than does on the property as well. Some of the bucks are so old and imbred that their antlers are completely freaky.
Antelope Island is close by as well and the bucks are even better on that private island. Most are nontypical cactus bucks of huge, massive proportions. Flinch

... that's about all I can say! I'm scheduled for a mule deer bow hunt in Colorado next year ... just how far is Utah anyway? What pin would I need to use to shoot from CO to Utah? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Gents all,
The following is a quote from my pard:
"These pictures were taken by an employee at the Idaho Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Laboratory near Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (atomic energy test site)
xxxxx xxxxxxx Idaho Fish & Game
Regional Wildlife Populations Biologist"
I'm beginning to wonder now just how accurate the info is! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
best, bhtr

bhtr, cut that wide-ass buck out, slap him in any photo software you want, blow him up a couple of times and tell me if you don't see a white collar on him from a lousy cut and past. He ain't real. Brent

Accraholic, the land is Military land and also mining land. You can't get NEAR it. It is heavily patrolled and never EVER get's hunted. Trespassing on it is MAJOR prison time. 35" bucks are thicker than flies on the land, with several 40" bucks. You just can't get photos of them or go near the high fences.
And yes, that 40" buck is real for the naysayers. He isn't alone either. Flinch

Brent, come on down to Utah and bring your spotting scope. You will see 40" bucks on this land at long range. He isn't 50 inches, but he damn sure is 40. He might be cut and pasted, but I highly doubt it. Like I said, he ain't alone either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Flinch

Flinch, I'd love to see one like that. I've seen a few good ones, on protected land and elsewhere, but nothing even close to THAT good. I'm still betting it's a fake. Like I said, blow it up in any software package you've got. The thing is pasted on too low (gives him a hump like a bison) and it's the wrong color and a few other details. Cut, stretched and pasted for my money.
I tend to be a bit cynical of e-land photos, having seen many more fakes than realities on the net (including here).
If he IS real - 40" isn't even a question. 50" would not surprise me.
