I believe his name was Mitch Rompola and he claimed to have taken a new
world record whitetail. There was a picture of him with the buck and many
people claimed the deer in the picture looked a little goofy and was not real.
In the past people have " manufactured" large antlers and tried to pass them
off as real, many thought that this was the case here. From what I can remember
Rompola avoided people wanting to inspect, x-ray, or even see his trophy.
Someone told me that Milo Hanson (current record holder) and Rompola had
some kind of legal agreement that Rompola would not recognize his buck as any
kind of record holder. If I have this wrong, I apologize to all involved, but that is
what I remember.
