OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

FAWNING FACETS.  QDMA details the repopulation of deer herds across the country this time of year as fawns hit the ground and start growing.  The addition of new animals to the population – and their survival – helps sustain huntable numbers and offset downturns due to weather, habitat loss or disease.

TRAILER HITCH.  BASS takes a closer look in its 1-minute tackle tip at jig trailers to maximize bites and bring in big fish.  With a focus on action when the bait drops, BASS Pro Carl Jocumsen, shares his pointers on dressing up a given jig.

OFFICE VISIT.  The NDG&F is reopening its offices statewide with modified entry procedures and appointments required.  Learn more about what the agency is doing to keep employees and visitors safe at gf.nd.gov
