The state Game and Fish Department says some national wildlife refuges in North Dakota are now open to late-season upland game bird hunting.
Arrowwood, Audubon, Des Lacs, J. Clark Salyer, Lake Alice, Lake Zahl, Long Lake, Lostwood, Tewaukon and Upper Souris refuges opened to hunting Monday. The hunting at Tewaukon is pheasants only.
Portions of each refuge will remain closed to hunting. Hunters should contact refuge headquarters for maps designating the closed areas and other restrictions.
Seasons for pheasant, sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge and ruffed grouse close statewide on Jan. 3. |
