The Saga of the Rampola Buck

The Saga of the Rampola Buck

Alan:
"This is the text of a conversation on rec.hunting about the Rompola buck. I thought it might make an interesting addition to the page. I was just letting it die down before sending it.

Basically Woody Williams said something about my mentioning of Nuclear bucks and how bucks near nuke facilities could develop two heads. He posted that the Rompola buck was mutated from nuclear radiation and the thread took on a life of it's own. Far beyond what I could have imagined it would."

On a double dog dare from Alan Minga - -

I have from a pretty reliable source that the deer wasn't doctored with
steriods.

However, it is pretty common knowledge that some incredibly huge
"phenotype" deer have come from the Oak Ridge Nuclear Facility in
Tennessee. Is it possible that a nuclear deer either migrated from
Tennessee to Michigan -OR - the deer was actually killed at the facilty
and drug all the way to Michigan?

Yes, I think the deer should be checked with a Geiger counter to see if
it some sort of a strange mutation ala a '50s "B" grade movie.

That's could be it! It's Godzilla of the whitetail world!

Ok, Alan. You owe me one.

This is a serious issue that B&C should address. All deer should be required to undergo a Geiger counter test. Any person killing a deer possessing two heads should required to score each head separately.

This is also how tracers are made. You shoot through the deer and as
the bullet comes ou the other side it is a tracer. The army then has a
special group of soldiers who collect them in the woods around around
the Oak Ridge facility (they refer to these select troups as "The Oak
Ridge Boys") and bring them into the cascade facility where they are
handloaded into new tracer rounds. Sometimes they "fire a round" into
the reactor to make nuclear medicine and you can see the tracer right
through the pipe as it travels along. Honest, I read it in the check
out line!

Sorry, but I disagree entirely!! If the single deer grew both heads,
then they should be scored as one deer!!! Unless, of course, there is
some evidence indicating that the two headed deer did not fit into the
standard phenotype of a two headed deer!

Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist on this one!

Anybody know if hunting in "The place where the giant mushrooms grow" is
allowed? Is it true that poachers don't need spotlights? I suppose
using a Gamefinder isn't necessary. What rifle would you use for a 6'
tall ant anyway?

On two headed deer: yes, you can add the scores, but only if first
scored on the critter. You need to show proof it was actually two
headed.

Note: if you see a very large, three headed dog, don't shoot it. You'll
only make him mad. Eight legged horses are also not on the recommended
list.

It's only fair that 2 headed deer be scored with some kind of handicap
or A seperate record book would work if they become plentiful enough to
warrant it. Now, as for why such animals should exist. As has been
offered, radioactive deer is one possible explanation, but I thought
that would get you a 3rd eye. Maybe aliens or asians are messing with
the genetics, now that's a real possibility. Aren't antlers an
aphrodisiac? Either way, huge antlers or 2 heads, you get more antler
production eh?

Subject: Proper Scoring of two headed bucks

I see this old problem has resurfaced. Unfortunately there are still
alot of official scorers out there who have not taken their continuing
education courses, which cover this topic in toto.

Under the B&C scoring system the antlers which are smallest, on a per
side basis, are deducted from the larger head's total (on a per side
basis). This because of the well known asymmetrical penalty imposed by
the B&C sysytem. So for instance, a buck whose smaller head/antlers
wrt the left main beam, would have the total for that entire side
deducted from the total for the entire left side of the larger
head/antlers. On the issue of spread credit...the inside spread for
*both* heads is used, and totaled. This is perhaps the one element of
B&C scoring that is not intuitive...and was adopted by the B&C club in
an effort to mitigate the very significant asymmetrical penalty, which
two headed bucks usually suffer.

In the real world, most hunters who have successfully bagged one of
these two headed bucks, will use some other scoring system. The B&C
system makes it nearly impossible to place a two headed buck in *The
Book* since they do not have their own sub-category and are placed in
with the more common one headed variety.

Probably the most popular method of scoring these bucks, is the BTR
system that "The Buckmaster" is trying to promote. The idea in this
system is to do away with the asymmetrical deductions which are so
much a part of the B&C scoring. Therefore total inches from the
circumference, and point length from all the main beams, and from both
heads, are aggregated. Of course, BTR does not give spread credit, so
this issue doesn't come up.

Most two headed bucks will score highest on the BTR system...however
at the presnt time, it is pretty much a wannabe system, when compared
to the older more established B&C system. In this particular instance
though, we can see the "the Buckmaster" is indeed ahead of the curve.
Probably in years to come, we will see the more modern BTR system
replace the outmoded B&C sysytem...for obvious reasons.

Hope this helps.

It sure did Joe. I've got three of them buggers from down in Tennessee
close to the Oak Ridge Nuclear facility. They ain't too tough to kill
cause the deer can't decide which way it/they want to go. It's sort of a
a Dr. Doolittle's PushMe-PullYou type of animal.

Up until now I didn't know which way to go on having them measured. Of
course I couldn't register them with Poop & Younger because I have a
Smiley Face wrist watch tied to my upper bow limb thus making the bow
not Poop & Younger approved. Electronics is taboo with Poop & Younger,
you know.

I do have some VERY important questions that you and I have discussed
before -

1) Do I have to join the Buckmasters to register my 3 two-headed bucks?

2) If so do I have to join for just one year or

3) do I have to join for the 3 years and

4) get all them there free(?) goodies that I wouldn't use in a
hundred and fifty years?

5) Will I have to appear with Jackie at one of his Buckmaster Classics?

6) Will Jackie throw off so I can I beat him at tennis?

7) How about ping-pong?

8) Should I hold out hopeing that Bill Jordon will make me
a better offer?

9) Should I say I killed them deer down in Georgia instead of Oak Ridge?

10) If I said I killed them in down Georgia, should/can I say it was
in Newt's backyard?

11) Will you be my agent?

There is a LOT to consider before I thrust myself into the limelight. I
certainly wouldn't want to catch all the horse hockey that poor old
Mitch Romploa did.

Please respond right away cause I think that the heads are starting to
come back to life. On a full moon night I can hear sounds coming from my
garage. It sorta sounds like "Blaaaat - wheres our body?". Weird.

But wouldn't there be a need for these head pairs to be scored either as
typical, non-typical or as a typical/non-typical split?

Not to be an alarmist, but what about those scofflaws that would discard the
lesser of the two heads so as to not incur scoring penalties?

And mule/whitetail hybrids? In which category would they be eligible?

As a Master Measurer for SCI, I received a recent communication on how Safari
Club measurers should handle two-headed critters.

The general rule is to follow the approved method for the species at hand,
after of course determining species.

Once the method is determined, apply it to each of the heads and transfer the
scores to the scoring sheet for the method.

Since SCI measuring does not subtract for a lack of symmetry in the trophy, the
general rule is to keep the larger measurement for each line on the score
sheet, and discard the smaller. This rewards the mass and best length of main
beams and tines produced by teh animal.

If I'm not mistaken, a 2 headed buck would automatically be forced to be
entered in the non-typical B&C book. In that case, there are no penalties
for asymmetrical racks. Thus, each rack would be scored seperately and
then added together for the final score.

Alan:

Your sage warning of the doubled intelligence of such a beast reminds
me of the historically accurate story of Harry Harry Anderson, the
two-headed man.

Harry Harry Anderson was a two-headed man who worked Hollywood in the
30's, making a pretty good living in grade B movies. One day after
shooting, Harry Harry went to the local bar for a quick one. Harry
drank Lone Star but Harry wouldn't touch anything but gin. Anyway,
as he was siting at the bar drinking their Lone Star and gin, Gary
Cooper walked in.

Harry said Hi to Gary, and then Harry said Hi to Gary, but
Gary walked right by and didn't say Hi to either Harry or
Harry.

"Well!" says Harry. "Would you look at Mr. Big Shot. We work with
him all week on the set and now he won't even say Hi to us." To
which Harry replied, "Oh, stop being so judgmental. He probably
just didn't recognize us."
