The IDHA president reported that this deer will flirt with the world record.

The deer was checked in at The Outdoorsman, in Greenwood, IN

The successfull hunter failed to show up at the check station and sent his dad in with the deer (as the story goes).

The license the deer was checked with was purchased AFTER the start of General Firearms, and was gun killed less than 24 hours after the license purchase. The deer was not checked for almost 48 hours after the reported kill.

It is also reported that the father who checked the deer, had already checked a buck deer during Indiana's early archery portion of the deer season.

Indiana is currently under a temporary One Buck Per Deer Season Rule.
