BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ North Dakota's deer gun season ends

Sunday, but there are still some hunting opportunities in North

Dakota.

The state Game and Fish Department says several national

wildlife refuges in the state open to late-season upland game bird

hunting on Monday.

Arrowwood, Audubon, Des Lacs, J. Clark Salyer, Lake Alice, Lake

Zahl, Long Lake, Lostwood, Tewaukon, and Upper Souris refuges all

open the day after deer season closes.

Tewaukon is open for pheasant hunting only, and portions of all

refuges are closed to hunters. Other restrictions also apply, such

as the use of nontoxic shot.

Seasons for pheasant, sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge

and ruffed grouse close statewide on Jan. 6.
