Have any of you ever heard of Marc Anthony? The ghillie suit hunting guy? the one who has 4 net Booners with a bow? Well seems as though he has been up to some shady business. Long story short---An antler collector/buyer/seller buddy of mine owned a 190" typical rack back in 2008 then sold it, well in 2011 that very rack ended up in a deer kill photo of a buck Marc SUPPOSEDELY killed in Illinois. Read the link below for more info...Very interesting read for sure. All of this surfaced about a week ago on facebook. www.deeranddeerhunting.com/articles/ghillie-suit-hunter-marc-anthony-sidesteps-fraud-claims#

Seems like a lot of professional hunters are a lot like politicians. Can't believe anything they say or do.

This is one reason why I don't care to watch "hunting shows" or read about "hunting pros".the only one I care anything about watching or reading about is Jim Shockey. I think he is the real deal.
IMO - the racks are one and the same.. The only difference I see is the sticker at the base of the right beam. That could be easily taken care of with a saw and a Dremel tool.
Sorry, I don't buy his "my family is in danger" excuse. IF it is legit it would be very easy to prove and put this behind him..
He now joins numerous other "pros" who have fallen..
Pretty sad state of affairs deer hunting has become.

I was working for a land owner in Schuyler county Illinois and he had the deer lease. The owner was less than pleased with him as he had caped out a buck where he shot it and left the carcass to rot and then was gone. Also, something about lack of payment lol

I have watched Marc's taxi vids and seen his taxi work, he definitely has some good taxi skills. From the looks of the dead head rack, Marc sure had to do some amazing color work just to make that rack look fresh again. Correct Woody, he won a 1st place with the rack in question.

It was reported that he admitted to staining the rack and said he does that often with other racks..his own and customers...

Any time things like this come up and "celebrity" hunters get themselves in a pinch (Ted Nugent, Spook Spann and now this guy) it doesn't do hunting/hunters any favors.
So much emphasis is placed today on trophy deer hunting (and the potential fame and income that can follow) that even the guys who consistently kill big bucks 100% legally tend to be looked @ with a bit of suspicion due to the misdeeds of the few.

Very ironic! Saw a post of his on Prarie State Outdoors where he was ridiculing the guy who bought the King buck for BUYING antlers. Marc is a real joke for sure, looks as though he might have to get a real job now!

Rather sad; I hate seeing what is an enjoyable pass time for me turned in to a struggle for the almighty dollar - I wouldn't want to be any of them.

Some if you might remember when I won a moose crossbow hunt to Alberta. 10 days all expenses paid - the catch was the hunt was to be videoed. I'd never done that before, but I thought "how bad could that be?"
By the third day I knew how bad it was. The videographer was an arse. After a blown stalk on a paddle horn and I refused to take a 72 yard shot we had a heated discussion. I called TenPoint and said,Sorry, I'm out of here." They told the videographer to give me another camera man. That really whizzed him off and I got the silent treatment the rest of the hunt - which was fine with me!
The video hunts are more video than hunts. I'd never do it again no matter what was free..

Classic misdirect/deflect/spin/repeat. Turn yourself into the victim. There must be a school someplace for celebrities and politicians that offer courses in Scandal Response 101.
It gets so tiresome.
