I saw you mentioned the Rompola buck in your MB Monster thread. There seems to be a renewed interest in this buck all over the internet. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it as well as everyone elses. Here's mine: At first I believed it was all a hoax. But the more I read about it all, believe it or not, I'm starting to lean the other way. What's your thoughts?
(Sidenote) I did a search for this topic on TnDeer and came up with nothing. If this has been discussed before, please forgive me.

In my opinion, it is a real, unaltered buck. All of the arguments I've heard about "how the buck doesn't look right" simply don't hold water.
Now whether or not he killed it legally is a different question, but it is a real buck that has not been altered.

i think he legally killed it and is just ticked off at the industry in general and a bunch of the jealous people with axes to grind in his area have made him the way he is about the entire situation
didnt a couple of the local game wardens in his area see the deer and check it out and then write or make statements that it was for real and not altered in several major magazines and articles.

I'm glad you posted on this. What about the argument on the distance between the burrs and size of the skull? From what I've read, he would've had the largest skull of any whitetail ever killed. I would think he would have to with the size of his rack.

Nature is a funny thing. She gets around to trying everything. Considering a buck with that size antlers is already a freak of nature, anything is possible. But I saw nothing to indicate the rack was altered. It was inspected by numerous experts and found legit.

I have always been on the legit side on this topic for many (many) years. In my opinion this is one of the worlds greatest whitetail hunters. Here is a link to the video(ABOVE) and to his website with some of his other trophys(BELOW)

Here's the link to take you directly to his whitail pics. The majority of his bucks have the same type antler configuration. It must be the genetics in his area. Just more reason for me to believe the buck is not a hoax.

Some people always try to discredit success, whether it be
killing a great buck or anything in life. I think Rompola doesn't
really care if anyone believes it or not. It seems he has nothing
to prove, because he knows the TRUTH.
