It looks like the photo of a possible world-record buck, forwarded by Dave Olzeski and posted here on Nov. 7, was more than an Internet rumor.
TrophyWatch at the Boone and Crockett Club's Web site lists it as a pending world record as of today.
Thanks to Olzeski, a Park Ridge realtor, for the heads up on the non-typical buck, which measured 319 inches. Trophy racks are scored in inches by adding and subtracing various measurements.
Here are the sketchy details from B&C.
