I hate to say it but won't the PETA type people and/or US government get on her for that?

As long as she or her pop has a license and its open season there really isn't much to complain about. Tastes like really big chicken!

PETA might but why the Government?
I'd have to assume if it qualifies for a record it was taken legally and in season.

Just expecting the worst, thought they were protected. But hope not and that you're right. Pretty cool thing otherwise. That thing is  huge!

Gators aren't protected, deer aren't either, nor is coyote or anacondas and boas in the everglades as long as they are in season and you have a license. The non-native boas and other former pet snakes are taking over the glades and eating deer and gators as well as anything else that they run across. They are a real danger as they have no predators other than the few men taking them.

Somehow, I no longer think sneaking up on an animal. Or reptile basking in the sun, or lying still to avoid detection... An honorable accomplishment..
 Seems more like slaughter than sport..

I saw one about that big on the croc bridge just outside of Jaco, Costa Rica. He was the granddaddy of the group.

Here you go Frank. See below.
