OnehornJimmy the author of that column, Richard P. Smith was also trying to pump up sales for his latest book, Great Michigan Deer Tales where and I quote "This book contains what may be the greatest deer tale of all time. The first two chapters provide in-depth coverage of the Mitch Rompola buck, a typical 12-point taken with bow and arrow during 1998 that scores more than the current world record. There's new information about the hunter and the deer that have never before been published." What better way to try and boost sales than by including this piece of tripe "with new information". Richard Smith also claims Rompola took a 9 pointer since then that netted 191. Do the math folks. An basic 8 pointer netting 191...I don't think so.

Oh yes and wrt Mr. Smith is he not aware of the contract Rompola signed? If not he will be. Here's the Agreement or part of it at least "Mr Rompola and his associates will refer to his deer only as the Romopla Buck. No reference will be made to it in the future as "the world record", or "the world's largest typical" or potential world record" nor listing 216 5/8th's as its score. Geez Richard. loks like you're in violation. well it gives me something to do tomorrow. "Hello..... Arkansas Seed Company"?
