Oh, good. A record-breaking huge black bear. Let's shoot it so we can weigh it.

Reminds me of the lame-brained USFS forester who found what they thought was the record-breaking bristle-cone pine in Nevada in the Sierras. Nothing would do for him but to cut the tree down to count the annual rings. . . they found another, older one, and barred that yimyat from getting anywhere near it.
