Brink sent this note a couple weeks ago in response to my plea for BOTW: Unplugged nominations:

Not much of a buck, but the picture was taken in a backyard in Cary.

I'll take it. Some more nominations for BOTW: Unplugged, the weekly celebration of live big bucks around Chicago outdoors, have come in. But I could use a few more to build the stockpile up again. Send nominations to outdoordb@sbcglobal.net.

BOTW: Unplugged tops the Field Notes on the outdours page of the Sun-Times on Sundays when bucks are around. An online version appears here, usually on Saturday or Sunday during the season.
