@Dave3006 -- Yes, they have assigned blinds. Alot has changed since I last hunted it. They no longer hunt the inner slough (pink part near check station) but they added more blinds along the river. They also renumbered a bunch of them. Check here for the map...

Along the Columbia about 4 hours from Boise is Umatilla NWR in Oregon. I hunted that and they have a reservation system and the only time you really need a dog is if you hunt the river blinds. Shot many mallards there the place holds birds. They hunt Wed and Sat and Thanksgiving morning. At...

Outstanding Steve.

Oregon has a draw system for public land. Like CA it's hit or miss getting a draw. Haven't done it in many years but used to put in for the draw at Umatilla on the Columbia. Might be close to you depending on where you are in Idaho. It can be lights out at times. Shot most of my bands there...

That's a great first pintail. Devon puts alot of time into the youth hunt. Props to everyone who went out.

Nice job Kid. You're not missing anything at Wister.

Thanks for the update Rick. Migration is late for sure.

Done. Thanks for all you do Rick.

Would like to shot a canvasback this year. Haven't seen many down here in awhile. Nice birds.

ilovesprig, you always have friends in low places. :joy:

I think Slab City has a spot for it.

haha Matt. Saw a Spec in the Back Bay hanging out with some Honkers. First Spec I've seen down there ever. He looked lost.

This hits home as the season approaches. Lost 2 dogs last year, one my dad's best dog, a Master Hunter, chocolate like yours. That pic reminds me of myself doing that same thing. Dogs are family. Remember the great times. Sorry for your loss.

Love it Dmax

Miss you Wade at the Terd. Congrats on the retirement. Oregon has some good duck hunting. If you ever want to hunt Sauvie or Umatilla drop me a DM.
