Elk early 1900's

Got this in an email, not sure of its veracity but looks real to me.

There were scissors and airbrushes long before Photoshop came along. I wouldn't even try to guess how long it would take for a rider to lose his head when that bull decided to shake those antlers.

LOL! So True!

 

I'm calling fake... a bull elk has a sloping back to some extent and a horse does not... the back of that saddle is too high... cool pic tho!

I agree that the stance of the bull is unrealistic. With how high the head is and how vertical the horns are, that elk would have some serious spine issues walking like that.

Real, if it's not, it is a great fake. But the maker should be both proud and ashamed.

No not real. Someone photoshop-t it. Look at the guys saddle. The saddle is higher than the bukks back region.
