Mike Kessler sent me this shot of a mule deer he shot on Oct. 21 during a trip to Wyoming.
What a great buck, and what a great picture.
I have several other local deer shots in hand that I'll post throughout the day. I want to get them all taken care off because things are going to go ballistic starting tomorrow with the opening of the early muzzleloader season.
While growing up in rural Southern Oregon, Mark Taylor developed a passion for the outdoors while he and his younger brother tagged along with their father on fishing, hunting and camping adventures.
Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.
After five years writing about the military for a Norfolk-based publishing company, he became the outdoors editor at The Roanoke Times in 1998. He lives in Roanoke with his wife and twin daughters.
Great buck Mike! Congrats!
