Canadian adventure nets two giant moose

For those who missed the Outdoors Page in Friday’s paper because they were too busy standing in lines for Black Friday shopping — or, better, out in a treestand — my feature on the page related the story of Jim Grisso of Craig County and Jim Grigsby of Blue Ridge.

We ran a big shot of Grigsby, but unfortunately this shot of Grisso (pictured here) and his giant moose, which scores high enough to earn a spot well up in the Boone and Crockett record book, didn’t make it into the paper.

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.
