The West has a variety of birds and in certain places you can shoot your limit of 7 ducks with 7 different species hanging on your strap. One of my favorite places to explore and hunt is on the Columbia River. It is one of the wildest rivers in the West as it is unforgiving as it has taken anglers, hunters, boats, motors, equipment and pulled them to the bottom of its waters. You have to be extra careful as you navigate this big waterway as in certain spots there are giant ships trading in the shipping lanes as well as other constant boat traffic. On this episode the Final Approach team lead by Mario get to take some folks that have never hunted a big river. We are joined by Kyle from Weatherby, as well as his dad Dirk. We also get to take Shawn Skipper from Leupold Optics and David Bingham from the Portland Timbers, who just happens to have his brand-new boat. Expect some wet weather and some big water as we give the FA Waterproof Shells and the Weatherby guns a real test in the NW Weather.

Last Pass Episode 9 • Haybale Honks
Scouting early season in Canada can find you a lot of variety. On this day we found a huge grind of honkers with a few ducks mixed in. The weather is mild and sunny, and we had to use a unique technique to move some of the bales out of the field to make a good landing zone for the big birds.
