Default RE: Large trophy animals

Forgive my ignorance, but what ARE the controversies with some of these big bucks?

I know the Rompola story somewhat: he refused to get it x-ray'd to verify that it was an actual rack and he claims to have taken multiple record-book deer from an area that doesn't produce that many. (Plus the odds of one person taking that many are astronomical) Anything else?

The Zaft buck was originally scored as a typical, but then the right G3 was ruled non-typical so it dropped almost 30 points. Anything else there? I hadn't heard any problems/concerns about how it was taken.

I had hear that the huge non-typical buck shot in Albia (I think) Iowa by the youth during muzzleloader season was alleged by some to have been taken before legal hours.

Any others?
