Froggy 44 at Speedway sees
longest Hornets race
Cottage Grove Speedway
played host to the Saturday, July
30 Froggy 44. The event was
run in honor of the late Melvin
Walker and is the biggest race
of the season for the Quality
RV Repair Hornets. The Clark
Printing Extreme Sprints were
also in the house and compet-
ing for an increased purse with
the winner taking home $1,000.
Also on the cards were the Late
Models and IMCA Sport Mods.
The Froggy 44 was a 44 lap
affair for the Quality RV Repair
Hornets and is no doubt the lon-
gest race they will run for the
rest of the year. Westfi r’s Josh
Corley got out to the front and
paced the fi eld for some time.
Corley would lose the lead on
lap 18.
Taking over for Josh Corley
was Springfi eld driver Daniel
Ray but he was soon passed
on lap 22 by K.C. Scott. Scott,
also out of Springfi eld, would
keep the competition behind
him for a few laps until the 24th
circuit. Sutherlin native Bernie
Bryant looked to be the class of
the fi eld for the second half of
the race.
Bryant seized an opportunity
to get to the front on lap 24 and
remained there until lap 36.
Chris Pierce would get around
Bryant and held on the rest of
the way to win the 2016 Frog-
gy 44. It was also the Cottage
Grove chauffeur’s fi rst race of

Finishing fourth was Junction
City’s Marcel Forte, and Mike
Swaim of Dexter completed the
top fi ve.
Ricky Ashley was the car
to beat in the fi rst few laps of
the Clark Printing Extreme
Sprint main event. Ashley, out
of Thurston, led for fi ve laps
before Dave Hibbard made it
around him on the sixth circuit.
Hibbard, out of Medford, stayed
in fi rst place the rest of the dis-
tance to win his second race of
the year.
Ricky Ashley was the runner-
up and Eugene’s Raquel Ivie got
third. Patrick Dills, of Cottage
Grove, crossed the wire in fourth
while Harrisburg teenager Tyler
Thompson fi nished fi fth.
Ron Brewster had an incred-
ibly successful night in the Late

dominated the race and was in
the fi rst place on every single
lap. It marked the third occa-
sion that Brewster has won at
CGS in 2016.
Pleasant Hill’s Blaine Tay-
lor got second and behind him,
was Chuck Christian of Eugene.
Fellow Eugene racer David

OUTDOOR TIPS
CONTINUED FROM PG 2B
HOW TO BE A BOW-HUNTING
FANATIC
A bowhunting fanatic abso-
lutely loves the sport; they live
and breathe it, not just in the fall
but year-round.
A bowhunting fanatic remains
motionless on a stand for hours
until they’ve tagged the deer
they’ve been after. A bowhunt-
ing fanatic doesn’t sit at home
and watch TV. A bowhunting
fanatic is outside hunting every
day of the season and scouts be-
fore and after the season.
If they aren’t bowhunting or
scouting, bowhunting fanatics
are out shooting their bow, fi ne-
tuning arrows, going through
their accessories, sharpening
broadheads, reading about bow-
hunting, talking about bowhunt-
ing and dreaming about bow
hunting.
Nationwide, only about 15%
of bowhunters tag a deer. Those
15% spend a lot of time invest-
ing and don’t give up. The other
85% are not willing or can’t in-
vest the time and effort needed
to be a bow- hunting fanatic.
CATCHING WALLEYE IN THE HEAT
OF AUGUST
During the heat of August,
walleye head for deeper water
and cooler temperatures. Wall-
eye like underwater structures,
which also help lower the wa-
ter temperature and are a great
place for them to fi nd bait fi sh.
Find out what the main for-
age for walleye is in summer
for the water you are fi shing
and use bait that is as close to
this natural food source as pos-
sible. Walleye can be slow and
lazy, especially during the sum-
mer months, so make your bait
an easy meal they don’t have to
work for.
Try crankbaits if the walleye
are holding at 20’ or above.
If they are deeper, switch to a
dropshot rig or bottom bouncer
in combination with a spinner-
crawler rig. Live bait, including
minnows, worms, leeches and
night crawlers will work well
at almost any depth. Jigging
spoons and jigs also usually get
good results in August.
SCOUTING FOR BUCKS DURING
THE SUMMER
During the summer, buck’s
antlers are covered with velvet
containing hundreds of nerve
endings and blood vessels. To
protect their velvet from bugs
and things that might scuff up
their antlers, they tend to stay

in semi-open areas where there
are few branches and breezes to
keep the bugs away.
If you want to scout a new area
or see signs of quality bucks in
your hunting area, fi elds are a
great place to scope in the morn-
ings and evenings. Pipeline and
power line right-of-ways are
other good areas to look.
As summer temperatures rise,
whitetails will visit watering
holes more often than people
think.
Summertime also gives you
the chance to pattern does.
Chances are they’ll stick around
the entire year. As food sources
change, so do their patterns. In
areas with plenty of agriculture,
patterns don’t seem to change
as much as they do in the deep
woods.
