In many states it is legal to use some sort of food for bait for deer.  I am not sure about the state in which this picture is taken, but I know here in NJ it is a leagal means of attracting deer. [/b]

Yep, up til this year it’s been legal here in MI with some restriction as to amount and dispersement.  It's now been banned in lower MI but is still legal in the upper peninsula.

I think the pic is a fake.    The edges of the deer are too clean like it was cut and pasted.   The deer seem like its in a odd position.  The eyes looked fogged and you can see a faint white outline/border around some of the edges. Etc, etc.

Never seen a deer take flight to that extent after a shot. This one appears to be about 5ft off the ground, pasted picture of a dead deer in my opinion.

I'll explain the reason for the trail cameras reason for doing that.  But understand whenever our trail camera takes a photo and you see the background(all the way through the object) is because of the aperture that is used, I will explain it in this way.

This past weekend I was saying in a ground blind, it was made up of thistles that were about four and half feet high, I got settled and and realized I could not see the corn that I was setting up on, but when I took my binoculars 10X42, the thistles disappeared looking through the binoculars, that's because they were close to me, and lens and binoculars defused the thistles.  After that I could see definite path through the thistles that allowed me see if a deer was going one way or another.

It's the same with the lens on a trail camera, but the difference between playing two photos together is that you'll see just the highlights, like the photo that you gave as an example, you can see completely through the antlers, not so when you sandwich of photos together.

I have to quit this, I'll end up going back to my old business, that's a scary thought.

Dealing with the old Cinderella attitude, those brides have to be perfect for one day !  Don't want that again.  Maybe I'll take up nature photography, naaaa.

No doubt it is a neat idea for photo fun.  But realistically, the photos that most you guys hang onto, are the ones you missed !  They are memories forever, and you take the shot over, and over, and over in your mind.  Those are the best ones.

I think it is real.
Look at his tail. It has a moshion blur.
Also it looks like the camera flashed and the lvl. of the flash are all equal in the picture.
And yes it looks like he is shooting over a pile of corn.

Also questions. If he was dead when they took the picture. Would there be more of blood running straight down or towards the rear of the deer? Looks to me like the blood shows that he was just shot because there is very little. Also the arrow is just in the front leg, in the flap of meat. If he ran a ways would it have torn more and opened up?

Photoshopped, no doubt in my mind.
