Doesn't penning them in a high fence and adding tons of protein to their diet constitute .....SCIENTIFIC INFLUENCE!!!!
Not impressed. A free ranging 160 class buck is more impressive! x2 x3 x4

He is a great buck no matter where he was raised. Get over it.

Still pen raised no matter how you look at it, great deer but doesn't really mean much in the big picture to people chasing the trophy of a lifetime in low fence, anyone with $$$ can buy a high fence buck, great if you like that type hunting but wouldn't not have the same feeling as walking up on 170" buck in a free range.

He is a great buck no matter where he was raised. Get over it. x2 if it was a breeder buck I say nice deer and leave it at that.. but it's native with the same genetics that have been in that area for a 100 years.

Can't knock the impressive buck, but it would have been better served as a breeder than a trophy just my opinion.

If it was so easy to buy a ranch and have monster bucks running around everywhere, then why aren't there more deer like this being taken every year? You can't show a deer your wallet and expect them to just grow into true trophies. It takes genetics. There are some truly large trophy deer taken on low fence ranches that feed protien and have food plots. Do they not qualify as trophies in your judgement of what it takes to produce a trophy? Just curious.

I understand you guys and you have your opinions I can respect that, I don't think if you were incarcerated regardless of how big your institution was you would still be trapped, feed protein and any other supplement it is just taking care of your heard. As I said not disrespecting the hunter or the deer. I just don't view it as a trophy. If I respect your thoughts what is the problem with respecting my views. To each his own i am for hunting regardless of how it is done, just my thoughts on a trophy are different than yours.

A. If you consider 6 square miles of heavy woods a "pen", then sure. That's a pen that is well larger than a buck's natural range anyway.
B. Someone didn't come up and just buy the deer. It was taken by a family member that put in hard work getting their herd to the point that it naturally produced that deer.
C. As mentioned - if it's as easy as opening a checkbook, why has no one done so in the history of the State? This wasn't a breeder buck or the offspring of a breeder buck. Native Texas genetics.

I have a feeling you have killed your share of big bucks, so I know you respect that deer no matter where it was killed, you have your convictions on what is a trophy and nothing wrong with that. Trophy or none trophy in my eyes doesn't really many anything.. I just like deer.... big, small, ugly, fat, skinny or short...as long as its not a breeder deer, which I'm not a fan, but will never say anything bad. Guys like us(that only shoot mature deer) can't really diss any thing Marco does b/c his practices are what many of us use on our own places.. and his results are what help convince our niebhors/other hunters not to shoot great young deer with lots of protential.

I dont think he said you can buy one from him (Amos). I read it as him saying you can buy one in general. It is a a monster buck!!!

I see both sides of this disagreement.
First off, the buck is a monster that anyone would love to kill. Yes it was high fence, but if your neighbors box you in, what are you going to do? I'd manage it the best I could, which is obviously what he has been doing.
