We’re bringing the years together in Buck of the Week.
Noah Johandes, 10, of Tinley Park, harvested his first buck with a crossbow and a perfect 15-yard shot in early November in Iroquois County.
“He also killed a jake this year in Michigan, so he’s having a great year!” his proud parents, Tim and Missy, emailed.
On opening day in Wisconsin last month, Dan Filipek of Mount Prospect shot an eight-point buck.
“I am hoping to make Buck of the Week at age 72,” he emailed.
BOTW, the celebration of hunting bucks and their stories (the stories matter) around Chicago outdoors, runs Wednesdays in the Sun-Times, as warranted. Submit nominations by message on Facebook (Dale Bowman), on Twitter (@BowmanOutside) and Instagram (@BowmanOutside) or email (BowmanOutside@gmail.com).
