Hey I just finished my hunt at McNarry Wild Life Refuge I was so pumped to go and only ended up getting 2 ducks all weekend. Just wondered if anybody had any luck there the weekend of the 27-28.

Which blind did you hunt?

I have been mostly hunting the paterson units and doing ok, averaging about 2-3 birds per outing.

Anyone want a partner to try out mcnary? I have never hunted it. I have waders and a bunch of decoys.

I have never hunted McNary refuge (actually, last year was my first hunt in over ten years) I was thinking of going out to McNary next wedneday and try standby for the handicap blinds if possible. I was going alone, so if any of you ant to join me that would be great.

p.s. the reason I will hunt from the handicap blind is that I have an "issue" with my balance that makes if difficult to carry gear very far.

I have only been out once this year, but antsy to get out.

anybody hunted the pennensula unit
i hunted 1 time and only got 2 flocks of ducks in

I have only hunted it once this year (a few weeks ago) and did not see anything to shoot at. I hunted from teh handicap blind area

 

[cj2004]

what about the sloughs

 

[hm_palmer]

Some of the blinds at Mcnarry do real well some dont. If you go to get one of the handicap blinds your lucky because your guaranteed to get a spot due to the fact that they let handicap have first pick of blinds. I'm not sure if you can pick any you want though.

I do not have a reservation, but I will try standby at McNary(next Wed if any want to come). Folks at the refuge told me that there is usually 0-4 handicap hunters, but Wednesdays are usually light. They have two handicap blinds, 2 and 8. If I don't get one, I will still wait, looking at the map, it appears that access is pretty easy for most of the blinds.

Ram, I would love to go out with you sometime, my hunting availability is a little tight. I am going out Wed next week, then trying to get my 6yr old son out some saturday afternoon if I can find a few ducks for him to look at. I am going to try to get out the Wed before Christmas, but I have to let my wife wiegh in on that one......lol. If not, maybe we can hook up in early January.

That map is very deceptive some of those are pretty long hikes when your carrying decoys and a shotgun.

Mason, ram, anyone else..
I'm coming down from Wenatchee on Christmas Weekend and am looking for someone to hunt with. My inlaws don't hunt and I'm bummed. I know the peninsula unit fairly well, but would prefer sharing a standby blind with anyone willing. I have waders, and 3 doz. duck floaters as well as a couple goose floaters.

 

[98ramtough]

mudd,

I am game. What exact day are we looking at?

I have 3 doz mag mallards, a few feederbutts, and 4 goose floaters. Waders and a dog....

I would love to go out with you, but I will be in Portland for Christmas.

 

[masondad]

I am going out to the McNary refuge Saturday and try standby for one of the handicap blinds. I am going alone, and would love the company if anyone wants to go with me. (My handicap is a "balance" issue that makes if very tough to lug gear very far, so I have access to the handicap blinds)

If I don't get a hanfdicap blind, I will probably hang around and see if I can get standby on one of the blinds that don't require too much walking from the vehicle.

I have never hunted out there, but I have been told that it is pretty good, and I will at least see some ducks.

So if ya wanna join me, I would love the company.

 

[98ramtough]

Masondad- send me a pm with your phone number and we can talk. I would love to get together for a hunt.. I got some new gear that is begging to be tried!

Mike

i plan to go out to mcnary and the best blinds are 8, 15, 1 does really good the birds fly back and forth so there's a lot of pass shooting
