Stray Casts will intelligently report and observe, hopefully with a touch of wit, on daily occurrences, reports and releases related to Chicago-area outdoors from bucks to bass to birds to bugs

The early start to firearm season in Illinois overlapped with the rut, helping Kevin Skopek and other hunters.

The Oak Forest man shot this 16-point, 240-pound buck on Nov. 17 with a shotgun in Kendall County.

``It was running after some does in the morning,'' he emailed.

Smith's Taxidermy in Joliet will mount it.

Email nominations for BOTW, the weekly celebration of big bucks taken by hunters around Chicago outdoors in the Sun-Times outdoors page on Wednesdays when apt, to straycasts@sbcglobal.net.
