Oregon First Hunting and Fishing

Barry Rager of Rage Fishing has been making informative and exciting fishing videos for years. You may know him as "Steelhead Rage." In this episode we talked about a rogue doe attack; asked the question: should Oregon instate hunter's saftey requirements for adults?; heard the story of a giant muledeer that Barry's daughter killed in Eastern Oregon; and most importantly, talked about some of the winter steelhead tips that give Barry an edge on the river.

It was an awesome summer for Mountain Church at the Northwest Mountain Challenge! In Washington we were honored to hear Boaz's story of how God brought him through a debilitating injury he got during military training.

See you next year at the NWMC for Mountain Church!

Derek LeBlanc is a rising gun rights advocate in Oregon who has jumped into the fight to protect “the right to bear” in our ever more progressive state. While many have jumped shipped and moved East, Derek is committed to see it out and be a presence in our legislative process through ORGOAL. After receiving a call from God to protect the lives of children, he founded the Kids S.A.F.E foundation to teach gun safety near and far, all while running his concealed carry and self defence LLC, Lethal Lovebirds.

Now, Derek needs YOU to help join the fight and turn the tide to crush the onslaught of attacks on our way of life. Whether it be HB4145, IP28, or any other law that comes at us to chip away at the things we love and have the right to do.

The Pacific Flyway is the most slept-on waterfowl realm in the nation. Despite so many amazing birds and even some unique varieties of ducks and geese, especially in Oregon, no one seems to talk about it from the national perspective.

Tanner hosts the Blind Chatter podcast based here in the Willamette Valley and we got to sit down with him for a couple hours and talk about everything relating to duck hunting in Oregon including tips for making you more successful on the water.
