    Trad - "hooked on honkers"



    It appears that as of 10/15/14 (TRAD'S FIRST WATERFOWL HUNT), that I may have led me wee pup down the road of no return. Yes Mates, me introduction of TRAD to branta canadensis has this poor Labrador "hopelessly hooked on Honker". Consider me guilty as charged.

    Jeff,
    Thanks for your comment Mate. When this photo was taken, I had not quite had TRAD for a full year yet. We have trained intensively throughout our fisrt year together and all of the skill sets worked on are coming to fruition in TRAD'S field performance. Very rewarding.

    Have a safe and productive hunting season Mate!

    Cheers,

    Looks like the hunting is amazing where you are! We are trying from Geese this weekend with Bacon, so hopefully he can get his first goose (and maybe I can get my first one too!)!

    Aye Bacon's Mom,
    Good luck to ye and ye retriever on the hunting of geese (always a thrill). Post some photos please. Are you heading out with a guide or self guiding? Either way I hope you get ye dog on them.

    Awesome work TRAD! Next, you just be able to send him out without the hunters and he'll bring home dinner.

    Scoutpout,
    TRAD has been crazed for birds since he was a wee pup. T'is not hard to motivate such a wonderful retriever. Thanks for ye comments.
