“Go Where The Ducks Are and never worry about your gun again.”
After hearing that two of my hunting buddies took a dip and lost their guns while floating a small creek in a canoe several years ago, I wanted to protect my gun for the next hunt. It took several years to develop and perfect the Waterfowler’s Underwater Recovery Device…and well worth it. Now my motto is “Go Where The Ducks Are and never worry about your gun again.”
If you’ve hunted over, in, around, or near water, you’ve dropped something in the water and lost it forever. It may have been a relatively inexpensive gun shell while reloading in the heat of battle, a more expensive tungsten shell while unloading, a flashlight, or maybe even your favorite shotgun. It happens to every hunter if they
hunt long enough. I’ve dropped dozens of shells, lost several relatively expensive flashlights and yes, even dropped my gun overboard. During a season where the temperatures reach subfreezing, the water is the last place you want to dive into looking for your gun.
Picture yourself on a weekend
minutes from home, or maybe two hours from the lodge, or an hour from the dock while being guided, or even hundreds of miles from home enjoying a hunt of a lifetime with several close friends and suddenly you drop your gun into the icy water. First you panic, then you scramble to mark where the gun fell, then what... everyone stops hunting, you probably search for a pole or something to help fish it out. You panic some more because a flock of ducks just buzzed your decoys and the rest of the group is thinking, hurry up we’re missing shots. You may even have your waders on and the water is only three feet deep, so you scramble around feeling for it with your boot and that’s never a good thing. Whether you're hunting a lake, sound, impoundment, creek, or swamp, reaching down into the murky, icy cold water is not good. The first thing you would have to do is take off all that warm, water repellent gear you have on up top because on a 35-40° day with an overcast sky and misting rain, the last thing you want to do is sit in the blind with wet sleeves or clothes that are soaking wet.
Due to the all the possible scenarios as well as real life events experienced every season, I’ve designed the perfect solution. The Waterfowler's Underwater Recovery Device eliminates all the possible scenarios of losing your gun forever in the water. “It’s the WURD” for any waterfowl enthusiast. The GunRetriever by WURD is compact, durable, and can be mounted to any shotgun without interfering with the functionality of the gun. It can be used in all weather conditions and only activates when submerged in water. If the gun is dropped in the water, a floatation surfaces attached to the gun allowing the gun to be recovered quickly without you getting wet.
You can protect what could be your most expensive gear for the cost of one box of tungston shells or three boxes of steel shot...my gun is definately worth that. Enjoy your next hunt knowing your gun and your hunt can be saved…you have my WURD on it.
