Guy you are hunting with next year?
No, no where near and I freakin wish!

And that prompts another question, would you want to shoot it and all the "disease" that surround shooting such a buck?

If I were lucky enough to down a potential world record here is a list of things I would do.

1. Look at but NOT TOUCH said animal.
2. Call someone to come gaurd the animal, no weapon.
3. Call a state DNR, Game official, warden etc to come see the animal.
4. Tag the animal in front of said person, to this point I did not touch said animal.
5. Backtrack the blood trail to my treestand and show said warden, DNR officer etc.
6. NOT TELL A SOLE until after the drying period
7. Have it officially scored under strict supervision.
8. Document everything from start to finish.

Do you think it would be more a curse than honor?
I on the other hand think the best thing to do is just take a couple pictures, not let anyone measure it, saw the horns off and screw them to a plaque for the den.
