Embarking on the journey of waterfowl hunting brings with it a profound connection to nature and a chance to cultivate skills that stand the test of time.
A great hunt becomes an amazing hunt when a special bird comes along; usually in the form of a band, and sometimes as a hybrid or a color-morph bird, such as the birds we refer to as ‘quills’. Every now and then the stars align and you find a target bird to hunt, but even rarer is the hunt where the opportunity to put more than one special bird down occurs.
If you’ve ever been stuck (like stuck-stuck) in the backcountry, in a snow bank or drift, on a soggy slough edge, or even a prairie clay road buried to the axle, you’ve probably wished you had more than just a shovel! TRED offers the escape in situations like these, and makes it a little easier to venture out on those solo trips too.
