OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

ANIMAL WATCH.  The NDG&F Dept. reminds the public that young animals such as deer and cottontail rabbits which appear abandoned often have a mother nearby.  People should leave these creatures alone and avoid handling them, to help prevent injury or abandonment.

OLD CAROLINA.  B.A.S.S. shares the basics of the Carolina Rig, for slow dragging plastics for bass through prime areas. Get clickin’ and clackin’ on your favorite largemouth waters.

WARMING UP.  Temperatures rise into the 80s for the back half of the week for all your outdoor adventures, and things remain relatively dry until a chance for rain on Sunday night.  Sunday’s temperatures get into the upper 80s before a slight cool down comes in with that shift.
