Damn fine animals. Some of the comments compare body size to rack. Being a native Texan and having spent most of my life in rural South Texas areas of this great state (please notice I let the nation thing go to help keep this thread focused) I'd hold that these are incredible bucks. The Los Cazadores big deer contest will have the premier deer. It is one of the largest and most well-known contests.
Racks are influenced by genetics and forage. Feeding is legal in Texas - though most agree hunting a feeder taints the trophy. Typically, feeder hunting is considered unethical. At my lease we use feeders to keep the game in the area. This includes the turkey, deer, and feral hogs. Between the food plot research and the combination of minerals into feed, racks are achieving incredible size! This includes low fenced ranches. However, Bergman's law prescribes that size is proportional to the proximity to the poles. Bottom line: the closer you are to the north or south pole, the greater and animal's size. Based upon that premise, the Texas deer should never get to the size of deer that are found in the Kansas and northern latitudes. Furthermore, we've had very adequate and in some cases record rainfall after many years of drought in Texas. This improves forage for non-fed deer, too.
Texas has a huge amount of public land and even manages wildlife in reserves and state parks via "draw hunts." I've seen nice deer taken from both.

The quotation below further illustrates Bergman's law:
"Within its range, the whitetail has several subspecies such as the Coues
of the desert southwest. In all there is over 30 recognized subspecies, over half of which are found north of Mexico. To hunters this is not especially important, although the whitetail is the perfect example of Bergman's Law. This biological principle says that the farther north an animal occurs within its range, the larger its body will be to help it retain body heat during cold weather. The farther south an animal occurs in its range, the smaller its body will be, and the longer it appendages will be help it disperse body heat during hot weather. In a nutshell, this is why Prairie Province whitetail often top 300-pounds, with the United States' smallest known whitetail subspecies, the diminutive Key deer of southern Florida, rarely exceed 45-pounds." - www.allwhitetail.com

I know that the hunters are proud of their trophies regardless of harvest technique technique. I'd certainly be proud to have a deer like any one of these!
