The controversy surrounding the potential world-record Johnny King Buck just got a lot more interesting.
After Deer & Deer Hunting broke Duncan Dobie's story about the dispute surrounding the Johnny King Buck, Boone & Crockett Club officials issued a statement saying they believed the buck was a nontypical because the buck's right "G3" was offset from the main line of the main beam.
In a statement posted today on its website, B&C now claims the right antler does not a have G3, but "an abnormal point that rises off of the G2."
Confused? You're not alone.
In an interview with D&DH this afternoon, 30-year certified B&C scorer Ron Boucher said he thinks the club is wrestling with its worst scoring problem in 35 years — and is going about it the wrong way.
"I still believe strongly in what the Boone and Crockett Club stands for, but I just believe Jack Reneau is wrong on this deer — using the words of the official measurer's manual," said Boucher.
He also had strong words for many of the individuals who have posted comments on blogs, forums and article links.
"These people claim to be experts on scoring, but they are expressing opinions without ever having held the rack and scored it themselves. They simply don't know what they're talking about," Boucher said. "The point does not come off of the G-2. You cannot determine that from a photo. You have to put your hands on the rack. It is not a common-base point. You ask any scorer who has actually put his hands on this rack, put masking tape to it and a straight edge, and 95 percent of them will tell you it passes the Figure 8 test as described in the Boone and Crockett scorer's manual ... and that it is a straight 6-by-6 typical all the way."

If they would let a panel score it, they would at least have a definitive answer one way or the other. In the mean time, it just smells like money and politics are running the show.....

Records are made to be broken.
B&C is going out of its way to debunk this theory.
Sad.
Personally, I dislike B&C for their antics since the Hanson buck.
It started out, and was for years, a reputable organization.
They need some serious house cleaning starting at the top of the chain.

B&C has total lost there credibility with me with this buck. Right or wrong if they keep changing there story then something is up. If a B&C scorer for 30 years says it is a legit point then at the very least it should be panel scored to say one way or the other.
