DAY RATING:

OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

BIG THREE DISCUSSION.  The NDG&F looks at the hunting seasons and related developments for elk, moose and bighorn sheep as part of its weekly webcast.  The deadline to get in the once-in-a-lifetime license lottery for these species is Mar. 25.

INFLUX.  Light geese are making the move into North Dakota per the Ducks Unlimited Migration Tracker and numbers are increasing.  Check out all the information from DU employees and members on the migration map

NORTHERN SWIPE.  The bulk of this weekend’s snow will likely fall between Bismarck, Minot and Devils Lake with varying amounts along the edges of the system.  Strong east winds will move it around, making outdoor activities challenging, especially Sunday.
