Tim Craighead sent in this shot of his kids, Cory and Danielle, with a couple great muzzleloader bucks.
Thirteen-year-old Danielle killed her nine-pointer on Nov. 5. It was her first deer while hunting solo.
Cory, 9, killed his six-pointer on Nov. 7 while hunting with his dad on the family's property in near Callaway in Franklin County. It was a 100-yard shot.
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.

How is it everyone is getting buck fever with the bucks to prove it?
Bravo Zulu!

Awsome Awsome Awsome!
Way to go guys, what a great picture! Both are very respectable bucks and I'm sure there are many more out that way with your name on it. Congradulations to you both and thanks to you Tim for guiding these kids in the right direction.
