EP 645. Wild Ride Down Oregon's Columbia River a Huge Adventure

Hang on, boys and girls--here's a fast-moving, story-rich conversation about chasing ducks on Oregon's amazing Columbia River with a couple diver diehards--retired Migratory Bird Chief Brad Bortner and decoy carver Pat Gregory--and long-time Oregonian outdoor writer M.D. Johnson. The Columbia River shapes everything about duck hunting coastal Oregon--weather, water, ducks and even the people chasing them. And we get into it all--the mighty river itself, open-water spreads and river tactics, a-little-something-for-everyone opportunities, hair-raising dangers, hand-carved decoy traditions, defining species--choose one of over 20-something waterfowl--and regional topics such as the "pineapple express" or "atmospheric river" phenomena, Lewis and Clarke, razor clamming, the mystical big foot and who the heck knows what else--like a wild ride down the Columbia River, this one took a life all of its own!
