not a real experienced hunter.
ends up finding and shooting a world record. got lucky, obviously. they knew it was big and called fish and game to do official measurements.
he was told to spend $$ to do the taxidermy right, so he spend 20k on taxidermy.
sold the mount for 450k.
just happened a few months ago. btw...this was the second animal he shot at. he missed the first one, which was smaller.
