[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5844073, member: 1409"] From what I understand, Rompola was threatened with prison (for things unrelated to hunting, and for which he may or may not have been guilty) if he had his best buck officially scored. Too many "officials" were already heavily invested in the Milo Hansen buck, that had then just recently been declared the "official" world record. When I first saw the pics of Rompola's buck, I immediately noted how much more overall impressive it was than the Milo Hansen buck (which actually had relatively little mass). Rompola killed a fully mature buck with a massive, huge rack, the measurements for which surpassed the then current world record. By contrast, the Hansen buck just scored high, mainly due to lots of matching long tines. [/QUOTE]
