Retrieval Tools?

[hendersondayton]

I have not lost a disc yet that I couldn't get by tossing a branch, climbing a fence, or wading a creek but I had a buddy tell me yesterday that he lost a disc that was 25' up in a tree and after 30min and an incomplete round, he gave up.

What do you guys use/carry to help retrieve the wayward throw? From a Creek, from a tree, etc.

Golden Retriever for water hazards, baseball for trees.

My group almost always has a golden retriever, a baseball, a slingshot, and a few monkeys. The group I played with on Sun/Mon had a pole that extends to 20' with a hook on the end of it. Absolutley neccessary for the courses in Carrolton.

Forgot to mention dogs: we have a few dogs that will get wet and retrieve.

Golden retriever for water, water bottle or other discs for tree rescues.

In one instance I had to use 2x10s...

I know a dog that is the best disc retriever ever. NaNook won't even look at a disc until it's in the water, then he's all over it, and will bring it right to you.

I just like saying "retrieval tool".

"Limit", thats a funny word. "Limit"..."Roaahhaaadds" (tommy boy reference).

is that a joke or do you really use that?

I have a friend that climbed a 40ft evergreen for a disc, and it wasn't even his, lol.

Seriously though, I could see where this would come in handy to hook onto the lip of a disc. Just bush the button to retract it and, unless its really wedged in there, you should be able to move it enough to fall.

Home Depot has these "Nifty Nabbers" for around $30

Several of the regulars at Giles Run have models which are six feet or longer to reach into the blackberry bushes.

Golden Retriever for water hazards, baseball for trees.

Golden retriever for everything. I met a dude at Dretzka who had his dog trained to retrieve his discs but also to find lost ones. If only I could afford a dog.

softball in my bag; change of clothes for water, thick gloves for thorny stuff, and the fatmax someone posted above for trees all in the car.

a slingshot is not a bad idea either.

Softballs here. Don't your discs come back a little chewed up after the dog gets it?
