I had this picture sent to me while I was writing my book "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer". A guy claimed he took the photo in 1998 in Bear Lake County and gave me a complete story on what happened when he took the picture. Only problem-----I personally saw this picture nearly ten years before that on my cousin's wall. Strike one!!! When I confronted him with that, I never heard from him again. Hunters are such kidders. Ha!
So far just the rumors I have heard on this one:
Picture taken on Deschutes River in Oregon
Picture taken in Northern Utah
Picture taken on Antelope Refuge in Nevada
Picture taken in Bear Lake County in Idaho
That buck had one heck of a wide territory, didn't he?
I, too, would like to know the truth. I thought about putting it in my book and asking this same question, but decided against it.
