The panel will not include anyone who was involved in this rack’s previous history. The rack will be scored in September by six official B&C scorers at B&C headquarters at Missoula, Mont. After intense scrutiny by members of the deer hunting media, the 32 members of the records committee recommended the rack be scored as typical.
The King Buck is controversial because the Boone and Crockett club inexplicably classed the rack as nontypical because of one G3 tine, making it ineligible to challenge Hanson’s record. Rompola quietly went away after being threatened with legal action by Hanson.

Magazine broke the story Thursday as the Boone and Crockett Club met to reconsider the infamous case of the so-called “King Buck.” Johnny King killed the big 12-point buck six years ago in Wisconsin.
