Well, it's like this... I was 230 when that photo was taken. As a younger man going to college on the central coast of California, I was a body-builder during Arnold's competition days.
Unfortunately, when the photo of me and that deer was taken, you cannot see it. ...But I was bitten by a deer tick at that exact moment. (BTW - I am NOT a southern boy. A Pennsylvanian, thank you.) I did not know it at the time, but I was envenomated with Cat Scratch Fever and Lyme Disease. It went undiagnosed for months and became a serious health issue. I ended up with the doctors thinking the lymph system was cancerous and had emergency surgery February 2009. I have gained 40 pounds since then and cannot walk, let alone the five plus miles per day I was doing at that time. In short, please note the ample snow and realize that I was wearing underarmor, a regular T, a regular chamois shirt, a fleece vest, a fleece jacket, and the obligatory Pennsylvania orange vest... I'd like to think that's why I look "large".
Does this gun make me look fat?

Meh...

Though it looks like a whitetail, this was this year's Mulie in Wyoming....
