Rather enhanced artificial environment on private land. He said he knew the buck so well that he figured the odds of killing him at 90 percent. That is not remotely close to the kind of hunting many of us do.

My brother has a neighbor with several huge bucks mounted on his wall. One night after indulging in some good whiskey, he admitted that they all came from fenced enclosures.
