There were folks from the same county (in VA) doubting this buck’s legitimacy on AT...but it was well documented and on the up and up from everything that I’ve seen. And accepted into books.
I’m not hanging around to try and prove Mitch’s buck is the real McCoy. There are some eyebrow raising anomalies for sure. I’m not telling folks what to believe, or even what I believe.
However, a lot of what’s being said is simply poor process argumentation. I think it’s fair to poke holes in all directions.
What you want is a buck that looks like an unofficial world record…I’ll keep a keen eye out for one when I take to the woods this fall, lol.
