OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

WARM & DRY.   Following today’s rains, things look generally warm and dry in the long-range forecast leading into the July 4 holiday.  Highs in the 70s and low 80s along with only a slight chance of rain paint a nice picture for the next week.

TOURN IT ON.  Six fishing tournaments are on tap this weekend before the holiday break (there are no tourneys on the July 5-7 weekend).  The Badlands Bass Bandits will be on smallie patrol as they head to Spiritwood Lake.

 

BUST EM UP.  If you’re looking to shoot off more than fireworks next week – check out the Summertime Coin Shoot at the Buffalo City Gun Club on July 6.  This ATA 400-target event will help cap off an awesome week, and the prized Silver Eagle Coin trophies await top shooters.
