How to Get Your Events Published with Us

Michiana Outdoors News welcomes submissions of fishing tournament schedules and results from tournament organizers. It’s a great way to build event participation and gain exposure for your event.

Send your tournament information as a Microsoft Word Document and photos in .jpg format to stoutoutdoors@comcast.net. We cannot work from facebook links - we need your tournament information emailed!

The Events Calendar powered by Lake Drive Marine is one of our most popular features and can be found on every page of Michiana Outdoors News. It will be managed by Jeremy Bunnell, a friend of the website and Michiana tournament angler.

We are primarily interested in events held in northern Indiana and southern Michigan although we will include tournaments scheduled outside that region if the circuit is based in northern Indiana/southern Michigan. Tournaments/circuits must be open to the public.

Schedules for the Events Calendar must include dates, entry fees, tournament hours, name/phone number of a tournament director contact, and ramp location (oftentimes a lake has more than one). We also include tournament logos for those circuits that include those in their submissions.

Although it’s not required to get your events on the calendar, we’d like for tournament directors to submit results to us following each event. It definitely draws more interest in your events. Results should provide winners’ correctly spelled names, hometowns, weights and lures and/or patterns used. Include the top three finishers. Result submissions that only have names will be rejected.

And finally, submissions with digital photos often get better play on the site and attract the most attention. Identifications of those persons pictured are required.

Stats Show Indiana Produces More Trophy Bucks

Does Indiana produce more trophy bucks than Michigan?

Sounds farfetched, I know. Michigan is supposed to be one of the country’s top deer hunting states and little ol’ Indiana, with its vast, fence-row to fence-row plowing seems hardly a deer hunting mecca.

But North Liberty deer scorer John Bogucki says Hoosierland kicks out more trophy bucks than our northern neighbor.

He should know. He is an official scorer for the Hoosier Record Buck Program, Commemorative Bucks of Michigan, Pope and Young, The Longhunter (muzzleloader record book) and Boone and Crockett.

In addition, Bogucki is the record keeper of the Hoosier record book and tracks all the stats of top deer harvested in the state over the years.

And while he doesn’t maintain the records for Michigan’s program, he is an official scorer and studies their record book annually. He knows what’s being killed north of the border.
