SHARE Buck of the Week: Unplugged, on trail cam

Click here for the first BOTW: Unplugged and other field notes.

I hope I didn’t start the weekly celebration of live big bucks around Chicago outdoors too soon. And I stretched definitions slightly with a central Illinois trail cam shot.

But I liked and it nicely ties together BOTW and BOTW: Unplugged.

If I did start BOTW: Unplugged too early, I will just run a couple weeks of Wild of the Week.

E-mail nominations for either to straycasts@sbcglobal.net.

Chicago Cubs' broadcaster Harry Caray sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field in 1989.
Columnists
Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!
In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
