Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 28" Mule Deer Buck-2017

Entry...left side.

Yep, that Barr buck is an absolute monster. I don't think it's the Idaho state record, but it's close...

If I have my pics straight, & they might not be, this is the Barr buck. IIRC, it is Idaho #2 or 3.

I applied for that late season tag where he killed it for 20 years straight & never drew it; applied for a Shiras tag in WY & drew on the 1st try..........go figure.

I think that some that RT killed were bigger but never got entered....................

Another great buck, congrats for developing the skill and keeping in shape to get it done.

That's Larry Barr, but not his big one. The one we're talking about is a big typical.Thanks for posting that buck it's a hammer too!

Never met Barr; got lots more pics from that time frame............lots of massive deer taken from around '85 - '95'ish.

Then the poacher's, 'cats & some bad winters knocked hell out of the deer.

Here ya go Montana man, this is the buck scenar and I are talking about that ridge and cash guided him to, boneville county Idaho. What a hammer

Wow, what a buck. Never get tired of looking at big mule deer.

Yep, that's the one...



This is the Idaho State Record. I took this picture in the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming back in 1994. I don't know if it's still there or not..net score is over 215".

Me too Johnny, pissed I missed “the glory days” of buck huntin....

What a dandy!! I was there in 93’, my senior year after graduation, cool place

Thanks................I don't have that pic of Barr's buck. Looks bigger than the pic of the #1 that SC posted.

Barr killed that buck in '95 late season, special draw tag, in Swan Valley...............that tag was golden at that time but only if there was snow. I was never able to draw it.

RT had a couple of heads in his house that likely would have been book heads had they been entered.

Actually, I do have a different pic of Barr's buck but with Cash & the deer.......................didn't have it ID'd as Barr's deer.

You can identify it by the slightly curved out tines on both sides, on the main beam on the left in the pic & on the rear fork on the right in the pic.

Oh ya thanks for sharin!! Feel free to post more muleys pics!! Never get sick of em

My 2017 Montana Muley. Couple of brow cheaters behind the ears. Looks puny compared to the Barr Buck, but it was a good stalk.
My Dad's still hunting hard at 80.


Beanland/Definance .260/120g GMX
Sinclair Leather Sling made the difference. (Thanks Pat)

Thanks for those kind words!

Cherish that photo! It doesn't get better than that...very cool! Keep taking him!

Back in 91' a couple pals and I were on our way to SW Wyoming to hunt antelope in the Red Desert, and we stopped in Jackson, for lunch, and found a little taxidermy shop across the street from the cafe. This rack was laying on a table in there. It was pretty nice....

No idea on the story, but glad we snapped a pic of it. Notice that, "wish this was mine" look on my face....;)

That’s a dandy buck!! Congrats

I never knew those guys as this was just slighty before my time, but have met and sometimes still do hang out with a fair number of folks that did/do know them and spoke pretty highly of them.

Idaho has always been a sleeper state for huge mule deer, though drawing the really good tags is about as hard as getting a sheep tag these days. General hunts there can be pretty damn good too if you get away from the crowds. I know of two really awesome general season bucks that came out of the Palisades area this last year.
