Narrative

The Motor City Madman is gearing up for deer hunting season the only way he knows how, by taking down a massive buck that is almost too big to believe. Full disclosure, I trust the man who gifted us "Stranglehold," so when he said this buck was "100% real," I was inclined to believe him, but I ran this picture through some AI detectors just in case and he ain't lying. What a beauty!
