No, that is not surprising.

The huge forest preserves in the Palos area are some of the top spots around Chicago for big bucks. Almost to a fault.

And that is a nice buck..

E-mail nominations for BOTW: Unplugged, the weekly celebration of live big bucks around Chicago outdoors, 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 Sunday during the season. I posted this a bit earlier since I am out covering a story Sunday morning.
