Best,
Prop looks damaged to me, that would indeed be considered a prop strike.

Odd - while a real hazard to moving things, this photo looks a little odd for a moving plane with gear damage so close to the subject.

Suspicious lack of blood is another clue. I'm thinking they moved the tasty morsel in front of the plane for the photo shoot. Lack of more damage would indicate he might of been taxiing too when it happened.

Would have been a lot cheaper to use a rifle!

I would say "staged" but not Photo Shopped.

Update: By "staged", I'm saying he may have moved the carcass halves and airplane to take that photo. I believe this is entirely possible.

Not staged, photoshopped. Common guys, are you that gullible? One blade? Cleaved amidship laterally once? No gore and guts strewn everywhere? Etc, etc.

The caption contest is amusing since the aircraft is trivially damaged for whatever reason. Maybe Brantel's coworker can provide some provenance.

Bambi is a miserable pest in many states where they're overly protected. I've come darn close to cleaning the seat several times.

I know nothing of the photo or the circumstances. The co-worker does not either. He said he thought it looked like an RV so he sent it to me.

That's the limit of my knowledge on the event...

I am scared of deer however as I have seen em jump and run many times around my neck of the woods when I am on the roll....

Cleaved isn't even the right word, more like a star wars light saber. It's also made the rounds on reddit, which is all anyone needs to know to call bs.
