Lawniczak lives near the Bartlett Hills Golf Club. The buck enjoyed a lunch of corn from the neighbor's feeder before the photo.

I had been pretty excited about the redone Sun-Times online site, especially the outdoors page, but they have had trouble posting the Field Notes online for the past couple weeks.

So for the time being, I will post BOTW: Unplugged, the weekly celebration of live big bucks around Chicago outdoors, here on Stray Casts.
