``No Bears game, so took the dog for a walk and ran into this big guy. In this urban area, seeing a buck like this is something to mention.''

E-mail BOTW submissions for BOTW: Unplugged, the weekly celebration of live big bucks around Chicago outdoors, to straycasts@sbcglobal.net. I run them most Sundays on the outdoors page of the Sun-Times.
