The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Steve Stone with an awesome Alberta mule deer

Roanoke-area hunter Steve Stone traveled to Alberta for a mule deer hunt, and this was his reward. The buck's green B&C score was about 181, according to Stone.

Stone said high winds were forecast for the third day of the hunt so they put in a monster effort on the second day, covering about 12 miles on foot. The hunters saw about 50 bucks -- Stone said it was his best-ever day afield -- and Stone dropped this one with his 7mm mag at a range of 401 yards.
