I think they are real...crazy things happen all the time...the moose was is a crazy story...but it happened when they were working on the power lines
Deer on power pole (14/17): COULD be real. While running across RR tracks, it could have had hooves cut off by wheels before another part of the train hit & knocked it onto pole. Unlikely, but possible.
All of those pictures are really cool. But, the one with the moose on the wire is oviously fake.
You cantell some of these are fake. #2 is def fake, as well as #2.
#7 was obviously photoshopped. Notice the black line along its back. It is not a shadow.
I think #8 is my favorite.It looks really cool.
Unless the deer in #12 is in full rigormortis, the head should be facing the other way. As the alligaor swims forward, the water should be pushing the head in the opposite direction. Fake.
All the pictures are awesome! Some of them look fake.
Concur that the "coydog" is really either a gray wolf or a wolf/dog cross. My favorite sham photos are: the "attack" of coyotes on a hunter in the snow; the cougar "killed in Michigan/Wisconsin?illinois/pick another eastern state" with the hunter posing with a game warden from a western state; the 18' tall moose crossing a so-called "full-sized gravel country road". Most amazing is how some people who should know better take these photos hook, line and sinker.
Overexposure reminds me of my dawg, Bill, when he was young. Tore up all my clothes, turned my NIB guns into "unfired", but I must admit that the young alpha stallion who would dare me to catch him after I threw the dummy became the best retriever I ever saw.http://duckcallsgoosecalls.com/
These are awesome. I believe them all except for the deer on top of that power pole. That deer couldn't of got up there. Poor dog! To say the least, that ain't comfortable! That's a beautiful Piebald buck also.
i belive #2 is possible because my great grandpa had told me about a deer that his group shot many years ago in southern iowa that weighed close to 500 lbs

those r great pics
bill wouldnt hunt with out monica!!!!
Poor Bill!
If #17 is real who shot it for him he's an anti gunner
If not for the seriousness off the forest being on fire, #8 would be a really awesome shot
# 17 is real...I seen it happen
if #9 is real which i doubt,grit and stupidity are running a closer race than i thought
About #7. Further investigation of that carcass showed the animal was spayed. Not a "coydog". Wolf/Dog hybrid - yes.
#14 I bet was from a mountain lion. They usually drag their kills into trees to eat them, seen lots of half eaten deer in trees along the Red River.
Man those are crazy
#14 could have been a snowplow with a front wingplow blade. But #17 is staged for sure.
And, it all comes down to "(not so) Slick Willey".
#9 is totally bull. There is no way a dog could survive that many quills administered to the face, much less calmly stand up for a picture. Photoshopping.
I dont doubt the size of the coyote in #7, North Eastern coyotes are the biggest in North America.I have shot yotes in the 70lb range in NB
#'s 14-15 are hard to believe, but the rest seem plausible.
Wow! #6 would be an awesome sight in a full mount and I don't care what the "biologists" say the canine in #7 sure looks like a wolf in coyote's clothing.
Too bad the bear in #1 did not understand that electricity respects no living creature and its bite is much worse than any grizzly's.I wonder if it cooked the meat enough to eat it, just something to think about.
I've seen coyotes as big as the one in #7 when i lived in NH, but we called them Coyolfs, because we figured they were half wolf.
I agree with Bubba about #12. There are plenty of gators out there bib enough to take a small to medium sized doe. But where did it really happen? Those pictures have popped up in my inbox at least 3 times and every time they're supposed to be from someplace different.
I can believe # 12 because an alligator is totally capable of grabbing a deer, and I've seen a similar event with a croc and wildebeest: http://www.bbcearth.com/earth-explorer/crocodile-strikes-wildebeest/
No way on # 2. Notice that the head doesn't fit the body and way too much loose skin from the front shoulder back.
Heck, I've done crazier things than #4. #8 is a truly awesome shot. Great job OL.
