The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Another big bear -- this one walking

Bedford's Ben Shrader, a volunteer with the Smithsonia Predator Survey along the AT, sent in this shot of a huge bear nicknamed Earl. Its weight has been estimated about 600 pounds. Wow!
This picture was taken on the AT north of the Peaks of Otter.

About this blog

Mark Taylor.

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.
