New World Record Whitetail Buck?

Wisconsin may be able to boast as the home of the world record whitetail buck. Hunter Michael Gregoire of Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, may be on the brink of breaking both the Boone and Crockett as well as the Pope and Young World Whitetail Records. Numbers floating around the internet as well as well as reputable news wires say the green score(before the 60 day drying period) is a whopping 217 5/8 inches.
