MM Trick photography....;) As luck would have it, a few days later I saw a true monster. 9X7, also dark, bladed points and matching drop tines. Stood there with a handful of does for about three minutes at 200 meters. I hope he survives this nasty winter we're having.

Yep, we did a lot of shows together besides hunting..........I was doing gunsmith work at the time & he sent a lot my way. Died way before his time. He was probably my closest friend for the 15 years or so before he died.
I stay in touch with Cash occasionally..........he's in ID Falls, not hunting much.

I remember the brothers with Larry Barr and a huge, maybe state record buck they guided him to in a sleeping indian advertisement years ago, back when magazines were cool. Grin
Couple great guys died around the same time from cape buffalo, Bob Fontana also comes to mind. Shiity deal for sure....

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.................... MM ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/tqLLqSb.jpg)

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.

Wow, what a buck. Never get tired of looking at big mule deer.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

What a hammer Yep, that's the one... ![[Linked Image]](https://s9.postimg.org/u3ja5rv0f/IMG_6650.jpg) 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".
Luck....is the residue of design...

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.

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. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/QN2OkYs.jpg) Beanland/Definance .260/120g GMX Sinclair Leather Sling made the difference. (Thanks Pat)

![[Linked Image]](https://s9.postimg.org/ltkwe1u67/IMG_4933.jpg) 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....;)

MM 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.

I've never met Scenarshooter (Pat Sinclair), but from what I've seen, he falls into the same caliber as the Taylor's did, which is truly rare.................what he's done & shown here speaks for itself & surely puts him in the top 1% on the quality of deer & elk that I've seen from him over the years here.
Area is all important over anything else, but it still takes a great hunter to consistently kill big animals, even in a good area.
Very, very nice deer, Grand & JG.

Yep; it takes good genetics, good nutrition and age to grow really big bucks. Some areas provide that for deer, and others don't---but it also takes knowledge and persistence, as well as a natural ability to be able to read terrain to know where to look and where not to---to consistently kill big critters. A little bit of luck thrown in never hurts...
A big emphasis on the persistence part. Most all of my bigger critters have been killed after days and days of trying, and refusing to give in and hang out at the bar instead.
