Rode the dirt in one of our Forest Preserves up here in the northern Chicago suburbs over the holiday weekend. Lots of
birds, of course, but probably the best sighting was of two buck deer and not just any bucks, either. The two bucks were, in typical fashion, sneaking off one side of the trail on a little used path, while the does were more visible on the other side of my trail. The
bucks were spectacular in the
Swarovski 8x20. Both were at 5x5, or what they call ten pointers, here in the east. Those were the points I could see in the
binocular, though there may have been some smaller ones. One of the racks had already been rubbed, but the other was still in velvet. Definitely the two best bucks I have seen in my five years, here, and both traveling, together.
