« Brody Crockett's first deer: crossbow eight-pointer | Michael Allen tags out with a big seven-pointer »
Eight-year-old Brody Crockett isn't just deadly with a crossbow. He shot this spike at 67 yards with his youth model .243 while hunting on private land in Wythe County.
He was hunting with his dad, Danny Crockett.
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.
Way to go Brody! With a last name of Crockett I'm not surprised. Davey would be proud as I'm sure your dad is too.

That's what I'm talking about putting them down 1 deer at a time...
Way to go.
