I agree.

I would like to see the world record come back to the US, but when I look at the lines where the bases of the tines come together in that last picture it is clearly not a typical. The markings are not placed properly according to the rules.
Ron may be a great guy, but he still worked for B&C. I can understand why they disbarred him. If a worker goes behind the back of his boss, especially the president, in an effort to circumvent the president's authority and creates controversy that is bad for the image of the company then the worker should not be surprised if he or she is fired. This should have been handled internally with the president having the final say. If it had been, there would not have been the firestorm that has formed. Just a short lived controversy with the occasional discussion among serious antler enthusiasts. The controversy would have been the victim of a quick clean kill.
