There is no verifying that it's 87" yet. That's the story that's going around. Whether it's true or not remains to be seen. It is an impressive rack though.

I've jammed some pretty odd shaped things in a Super Cub, but I don't know how you'd get THAT in there! [Big Grin]

There's no question about it being a very large rack. I wonder what it will tape? The angle doesn't really show us how tall it is. Any details on the story?

Yukon,
I talked to a guy who was a packer in that area and he said the guy that shot it was 5' 5". the angle is also decieveing but hes not a big guy.

Truely nice trophy, no doubt about that. I'll say it will go top 10, maybe top 5.

True spread was said to be 80 1/2" longest width. It was taken by a Texas resident on a guided hunt in the Cinder River valley on the AK Peninsula.

That's all I know. It's a monster any way you look at it.
