What’s everyone’s take on the rompala buck? Been listening to the deer hunter podcast series on mitchs so called world record. It is very interesting. After every Episode it makes you wonder if it could have been real or if it was fake. Just curious on your guys opinion.

That’s what I’m thinking but there’s some big name guys saying it’s real Troy Pottinger and Steve Avery both claim it’s 100 percent real

Proofs in the pudding, if it’s real it needs too be brought out. Even if it was taken illegally, at least the stigma of the whole it’s fake would be put too rest….

Isn't that the dude up in Michigan where rumor is the horns were added on to and he won't let them x-ray them? I agree. If it was on the up and up he'd trip over himself getting to the x-ray room.

I've always felt the rack looked fake, even before I'd heard of the controversy. He's holding it very delicately which adds to the intrigue.

Yep. Blood coming from ears that are hanging ridiculously low. That deer definitely was fucked with. He was in shit with B&C for sketchy scoring with a few friends deer too.

I think I heard it burned up in a house fire or something to the effect. If that’s the case it will never be settled.

I think it could be yes or no. I had read that he has killed several extremely impressive deer. It was also said that he was the type... once he was angry he would screw himself to get back at somebody, if that's what it took.
Either way...it created quite a stir!

The podcast is pretty interesting the last episode was this last Friday and they had a taxidermist talking about all his pictures on google. He is trying to get Mitch on the podcast we will see.
