I have seen all those pictures many times. Some for a couple years. I have yet to hear the name of any hunter in the photos. The deer in that last picture has been killed in at least six states.

don't know why people think it's NOT possible..if we humans can get SO OBESE, why isn't it possible to shoot an OBESE buck?
maybe a better term than fake would be unnatural.
a deer in the wild would never get this fat simply because Nature would not allow it.....
a fenced in deer, corn fed...etc. MIGHT......but a free range never, never, IMO>

A few weeks ago somebody took me task for a saying deer in a photo was a penned raised deer. So I won't say what I know about these.

The old "big fish arm-stretch" illusion on some of those photos.
Example, hold the fish way out in front of you in a photo and it looks a lot bigger.
The guys with the elk are way behind it...you see it a lot in bear pix and the famous hawg pix, too.
But that first photo, dunno. Deer almost looks like a funhouse mirror in the mid-section. Could be a fish-eye lens, could be real...but kind of doubt it...dunno.

Just a couple other observations that seem "unnatural":
1) Note there is no apparent wound nor is there any blood on the ground or the deer.
2) Note the guy holding the deer. Does he look like a deer hunter to you?

Just something i stumbled across
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.
Third place would go to a Maine buck killed by Horace R. Hinckley in 1955. Hinckley reportedly spent three days searching for a scale large enough to properly weigh his buck. With a Maine Sealer of Weights witness present, the buck officially tipped the scales at 355 pounds, giving it a live weight of 451 pounds. Hinckley’s buck had a 28-inch neck girth and a 56-inch chest girth.
