Here is the Story........ |
|
The deer scored 158 4/8 and field dressed at about 250lb. It was somewhat of a bittersweet hunt as I had spent a total of 12 days hunting a couple of the best farms I had ever hunted and passed up a couple of bigger deer in hopes of a giant. A couple days before I shot this one there was a 12pt that I had into 70 yds that I could never get a shot at, he was shot last night and scored 183. There were also several on game cameras that were 180 to 200 class that seemed to only move at night along with numerous deer over 200 killed on the surrounding farms while i was there. The sweet part was that I shot the deer the last morning I was there(about an hour before I had to leave for my flight) and it was an old deer that was essentially a large cull buck. He came through chasing a doe at 25 yards and went about 60 yards after the shot. The land manager and neighbor had shed horns to show that he was at least 5 1/2 years old and poor genetics other than the third beam that made him the most unique deer I have shot. The long and short is that I met some great friends, got to hunt the best place I have ever been on, and killed a nice deer that I won't forget. I was hunting in Fulton and Knox counties Illinois on Timbercreek Land Co. farms that they manage and improve for quality deer, turkeys, waterfowl, and of course bass. |

Another championship and 1 Million dollars have slipped away! |
|
I have been back from Pittsburgh fishing in the Forrest L. Wood Cup for $1 million and already raced to another FLW series event that was as tough of a fishery. The cup did not go nearly as well as planned - I had a decent practice and discovered something the last day that I thought had great potential, but conditions changed drastically and I failed to adjust with them. I had found that I could catch a lot of suspended fish around the barges and under docks but that evaporated when we had som heavy rain that muddied the water and brought strong current adn caused the fish to scatter down the banks. I ended up throwing a Megabass pop-x under trees with mayflies hatching on them and throwing a Berkley slim shakey on current breaks to catch a measly 5 fish over two days and finish 50th place. |

Ticonderoga largemouth bite surprising slow on day one |
|
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – Each year when FLW Outdoors brings a major tournament to Lake Champlain, Kellogg’s pro Clark Wendlandt targets smallmouths on the north end of the lake. But this year he’s fishing down south in Ticonderoga – figuring largemouths would be needed to make the top-10 cutoff and subsequently claim his third Land O’Lakes Angler of the Year title. Ironically, Luke Clausen might just steal AOY from Wendlandt with his beloved brown bass. Read More |
