    Hey aglore... In the time it took me to get the picture posted it then appeared on your post. It wasn't there when I first looked at this thread.

    Anyway, here's the description:
    'Goliath,' a white-tail deer buck, stands in the field of Rod and Dianne Miller in Knox, PA Tuesday, August 5, 2003. The giant buck with some 50 to 60 points on its antlers and worth upward of $1 million is believed back with its rightful owners after it was stolen nearly four years ago. But the owners of the deer farm aren't conceding that their deer is that deer.

    Stolen Monster Deer May Be Back Home
    Wed Aug 6,10:29 PM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!
    By DAN NEPHIN, Associated Press Writer

    KNOX, Pa. - The owners of a monster buck named Goliath with some 50 to 60 tips on its antlers believe they have the male deer back nearly four years after it was stolen.

    While a representative of a deer farm where a large buck was found a week ago isn't conceding that the animal is the same one, Goliath's owner, Rodney Miller, says he's sure it's his buck.

    Deer experts said some massive bucks have sold for more than $500,000.

    Four members of the Pennsylvania Deer Farmers Association who were familiar with Goliath came across a massive deer while on a scouting trip last week. They took a photo and contacted Miller, he said.

    "I knew from the face of the animal in the picture that it was my deer without even looking at the antlers," Miller said Tuesday at his Wild Bunch Ranch deer farm about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.

    The deer was found at the White Oak Whitetail Deer Farm, about 30 miles west of Miller's ranch. Miller sued Jeffrey Spence, owner of the farm, and obtained a temporary injunction that gave him possession of the deer last Wednesday until it can be determined whether the animal is Goliath.

    "It hasn't been established that that is the Millers' deer, first and foremost, and second, if it is the Millers' deer, then it came into (White Oak's) possession in the proper manner," said Troy Harper, Spence's attorney.

    Goliath has a tattoo on his ear and a microchip in his tail. Arrangements were being made to have the microchip read.

    Pa, most of the Texas "High Fence" ranchers buy a buck or two from your part of the country to improve the herd.

    We would have a lot more big bucks if there wasn't so much hunting pressure. There are so many hunters that a deer doesn't usually live very long.

    Linin' more than 2-1/2 years does make a difference.

    EDIT:
    Livin' would be more appropriate! [;)]
