!!!HELP!!! McNary wildlife refuge duck hunting
« on: November 05, 2025, 12:36:50 PM »
Has anyone with or without lottery picks hunted at mcnary? Any information on whether or not they are open would be massively appreciated. I have a pick this weekend and am not sure if people are still hunting even during the federal shutdown.

They sent and email out at the start of the season saying they are still operating the hunts as normal. I haven't had a lottery pick yet this season, but everything I have seen and heard it's business as normal.

509-546-8300 Tape says on furlough and leave message. But I don’t live there either.

https://www.fws.gov/mcriver

I also just called 509-546-8325.  Tape talks about hunting hours and if any questions call 509-546-8300. Not good info at all for hunters that have to drive hundreds of miles round trip.
