If it is the new world record he should have entered it into the North American Hunting Competition. Its always after that you wish you did.
This would be the biggest hunter-shot bear. I think B&C has one that is 1/16th bigger that was found dead in Utah about 40 years ago.
So maybe he would be SOL, based on that.
Personally, I think "pick-ups" should be in a separate category.
