Jamie Brugh sent in this great shot of his son, Austin, with his first bow kill. Austin was hunting with his grandpa, and Jamie's dad, Jimmy Brugh in Bedford County.
Saturday's early muzzleloader opener started the busiest four weeks of deer season in these parts. The cool weather should help the help the action.
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 Austin! You show Grand Pa Jimmy how to get it done. Keep up the good work.
-We all know Jimmy needs all the help he can get, don't we, CRS? mt
