Do you mean make the record book or the tops in the book? If it's make the book my BIL has numerous bucks, a full curl Dall sheep, a moose, a cougar and an Alaskan caribou that all made the book.

I worked for a transmission company owned by the Batten's. If you've never heard of John Batten he was one of the most famous big game hunters in the world. When he died the NRA Rifleman magazine did a full page article on him. Search him on the net.

In any case he had many of his world record or near world record mounts in the large meeting room wall at work and I can honestly say I've never seen pictures, tv shows or any other sources of animals that can come close to matching his. His moose, cape buffalo and some other African animals were the biggest creatures I have ever seen. His cape buffalo's horns were TWICE as wide as any I have ever seen taken on tv or in pictures.
