Bassmaster Classic, Dixie Deer Classic coming to Carolinas in March

Two big events scheduled for March 2022 in the Carolinas

Bassmaster Classic

The Bassmaster Classic returns to the Carolinas the first weekend of March. Green Pond Landing at Lake Hartwell, S.C. will host the event for the fourth time March 4 – 6, 2022.

Numerous Carolina anglers will fish the event, including Hank Cherry of Lincolnton, N.C. Cherry is the reigning champion, having won the Classic the past two years. Other North Carolina anglers include Shane LeHew of Catawba,  Brandon Card of Salisbury, KJ Queen of Catawba, Bryan New of Belmont, and Matt Arey of Shelby. South Carolina anglers include Patrick Walters of Summerville and Brandon Cobb of Greenwood.

Boats will leave out of Green Pond Landing each morning, and weigh-ins will take place at Greenville’s Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

Dixie Deer Classic

The 2022 Dixie Deer Classic is also set to take place in Raleigh, N.C., March 4 – 6. The event was canceled in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions, so this year’s event should be a big one.

The Dixie Deer Classic is known nationwide as the top whitetail deer show in the country. It’s a day of meeting fellow hunters, seeing new products, watching deer mounts receive official scores, observing the best deer killed in the past year, and seeing some of the biggest names in the outdoor world.

Numerous awards are given to hunters in various categories. And the awards aren’t just for North Carolina hunters. The event also recognizes the top deer from South Carolina, Virginia, and other states. In the past five years, only one South Carolina hunter entered. As our online Bag-A-Buck Gallery shows, hunters in both Carolinas killed plenty of trophy deer in 2021, so we hope to see many of you at the show.
