The waterfowl lottery opens mid-August usually, and submittal deadline this year was Sep 13.
I got skunked for Umatilla draws for the first time ever. Darn it. Drew a #8 at McNary, and a couple mediocre picks late goose McNary draws. But at least I drew something there.
My buddy drew a #2 at McNary this year, but his schedule changed after he applied and he can't hunt that date now. Doh!
I've never hunted McNary before so will see how it compares to Umatilla. Ridgefield draws are due out next week I believe, as are the first of the Sauvie dates (period A).
