It came from a friend of a friend, so I'm pretty sure it's a real photo, he's not one to send me a spoof. ;) I've had a pair of bucks lay in my backyard, and I don't even have a trampoline!! :D

I'll bet there are a bunch of hunters in the nearby woods scratching their heads wondering where all the bucks went! ;D

I think the pictures are real, but the story has several variations.
I haven't received the Minnesota version yet, but I have the Texas and Alabama ones. 

Im going to use a little bit of mythbusters zoology here.

It IS somewhere in the south, and it is in the middle of winter.  There are no apples or leaves on the apple tree in the background.  Here in northern Wisconsin, our apple trees still have some leaves and fruit.  The apple trees are not bare until about thanksgiving time.  At that time, there are no bachelor groups of bucks.  They are in full rut, and their necks are swollen, not skinny like the bucks in the picture.
Here in the north, by the time the bucks get back into bachelor groups, there is 2 feet of snow on the ground, and malnutrition has caused many of them to shed their antlers.
The combination of green grass, a bare apple tree, a bachelor group of skinny little bucks with antlers, is going to make me guess February and the Texas or Alabama story could be correct.

Hey,  doesn't that one in the middle have Dale's name on it?  You have to squint your eyes and turn your head to the right a little and use a bunch of imagination, but I think I see it  ;)

If they are shoes and not sneakers the percentages say they are brown or black, with the best chance of them being dark brown....<><....:) ;)
