The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

A great buck from Roanoke County

Here I'm begging for deer pictures and I find this one while cleaning out my e-mail inbox.

I don't have many details on this trailcam shot except that the buck reportedly was on private land in Roanoke County, near the Blue Ridge Parkway (of course).  His brow tines are only so-so but I guess I'd be willing to use a tag on him.

Bucks like this are moving around after dark now, but they'll will become more and more vulnerable during daylight as we move toward the middle of November.

  1. Mark, friday I rode up 12 oclock knob to look at a job and saw a 4 pointer walking next to the road. Today I was in the Poages Mill area looking at another job talking to my customer kidding about bringing my muzzle loader next week when I come back to do the job.While we were talking a basket 8 pointer ran across the road and stopped at the edge of the woods for a few seconds and then took off into the woods. Both of these bucks were spotted mid day and in plain view. It doesn't speak for the big bucks but it says the younger and not so smarter ones are starting to think with something other tha n there brains. Good luck in the woods.
