OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

CHECK THE BOX.  Taxpayers are encouraged by the NDG&F Dept.  to donate to the Watchable Wildlife fund as part of their state income tax preparations this season.  The small donation helps sustain songbirds and other watchable wildlife in ND and is conveniently available in the filing process.

BLOCKED BLOG.  The story of Tom Volk and the would-be ND record walleye continues at http://ndslargestwalleye.blogspot.com/, unfortunately the site has now become invite-only, leaving many to speculate about the screed set forth on it.

BAKER’S DOZEN.  How many of ND’s state parks have you visited in a year or your lifetime?  Check out the list from ndtourism.com and see which ones you can check off in 2020!
