Hunters interested in the waterfowl hunting program at McNary National Wildlife Refuge or Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge are encouraged to participate in the Hunter Blind Preparation Day on Saturday, September 11 at 9:00 a.m.
“Your help is needed to prepare the refuge hunting blinds for the upcoming waterfowl hunting season” states Refuge Manager, Lamont Glass. Work will include blind camouflage repair, repositioning blinds, clearing weeds and unwanted vegetation growth around the blinds, and litter clean-up. Please bring gloves, boots, waders, and tools to work on the blinds. The Refuge will have some tools but weed eaters, hammers, hand saws, clippers, and pruners are needed.
