GRINDING YOUR TEETH?  Just staring out the window at the slightly late April Fool’s joke yesterday was enough to get the jaw clicking.  We cover the totals along with teeth and a fishing preview in today’s Outdoors Roundup.

OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

JAW JACKIN’  QDMA highlights the strange and well-aged in a collection of jawbones that help provide a good deal of insight into herd health and other factors. Check out the jawbone of the doe aged more than 14 years, wow!

BIG WATER.  The NDG&F Dept. has its second of four fishing preview videos online as part of its North Dakota Outdoors webcast. Covering southwestern fisheries and Lake Sakakawea, the installment is chock full of great info for the coming openwater season.

ONCE.  As the old saying goes, it’ll snow three times after the robins arrive.  The first of our snowfalls was a significant one with four to eight inches of snow dropping from west to east yesterday with the heaviest totals along the Red River valley.
