    TRAD - "Working The Icy Waters"

    Aye Mates,
    Team Trad recently made a trip to Maine to hunt sea ducks and we had a truly wonderful experience with TRAD getting lot's of work on retrieving eiders and scoters from the frigid coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. TRAD had his work cut out for him as he made retrieves along with the help of Miss PEARL a great retriever that belongs to me friend and guide Troy. Both dogs made multiple retrieves of birds each day. We had to be particularly vigilant in protecting the dogs from lurking seals and fast rip currents and would not sent them when those dangers were present, electing to pick up the birds via boat instead.

    Trad and Pearl

    Aye Mates,
    Team Trad recently made a trip to Maine to hunt sea ducks and we had a truly wonderful experience with TRAD getting lot's of work on retrieving eiders and scoters from the frigid coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. TRAD had his work cut out for him as he made retrieves along with the help of Miss PEARL a great retriever that belongs to me friend and Maine Master Guide Troy Fields. Both dogs made multiple retrieves of birds each day. We had to be particularly vigilant in protecting the dogs from lurking seals and fast rip currents and would not send them on retrieve when those dangers were present, electing to pick up the birds via boat instead.

    Pearl is a pretty girl! Looks like everyone enjoyed the trip! Well, except maybe the waterfowl!

    Great photos and looks like a very successful adventure. Give TRAD and PEARL a sip of Guinness for me They earned it.
