Hunting with Mike

Just yesterday I wrote about the “savanna’s” that the Chicago suburbs have set aside for the local animal population. They have incorporated them right into the fabric of concrete, neon lights, and steel.

Well last night we went out to eat at “Bill’s Pub North” which is a great log cabin restaurant with many nice looking animal mounts inside. After celebrating my grandson Logan’s third birthday, my son-in-law Mark decided to take a different route home. All of a sudden my wife starts yelling “look at the deer, look at the deer!” I could not believe my eyes! A buck approaching the 180 class was standing just off the road on the edge of one of these savannas. Now I know your saying “yeh right,” but I know how to score a rack and have a 160 class hanging in my basement, and this buck made mine look puny. When my wife gets excited about a deer you know it has to be big. I only wish I would of had my camera with me. This experience made me think about all the old great bucks that hunters never get to see and will no doubt die of old age, or get hit by a car.
