Finding The Truth Behind Photos
October 12, 2006
It is difficult these days with the latest and greatest of photo software to tell the real thing from the fake. Take for example this picture.
I know some of you saw this photo because in my travels around cyberspace and even in my own mailbox, I saw this photo and a couple more to go along with it. I seldom have the time to do the research to try to determine the validity as there are so many of pictures just like this floating around.

The elk was not easy to find and had not been seen for two weeks by any of the guides previous to our hunt. • It takes a 60-day drying out period before a certified master measurer can make an official measurement. We plan to submit to SCI for world record. [...]
