Default RE: Rompola Video

The Rompola buck IS real. Out of Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine was the best article I have read. It had a 48 year old conservation warden with 22 years as a warden who checked the deer BEFORE it was skinned, an he said he was with 4 people in their 40s and 50s all avid deer hunters who found NOTHING fishy. He has nevered had ANY of his 30+ deer scored, along with 2 B&C bucks...one when he shot as a boy in Missouri. He has registered a few in the past with CBM, but none lately. The author of the article said Romploa refused a interview, or allowed him to show pictures or videos of his bucks (alhtough there was an impressive pic with him and 10 or so of his trophys.)
The author called Mitch the "best hunter in North America of whitetail deer", as he puts much of his life into hunting where he is "obsessive." He has pictures, videos, DAILY hunting logs, aerial phtoes, topos, etc.
It also mentioned NONE of the people who actually examined the buck pre-skinning found NOTHING fishy...it mentioned it was officailly scored 3 times, and the B&C scorer said they have the entire 2 1/2 hour scoring process on tape. This article verified in my opinion how real it IS!!!!
