Missouri River Fishing and Aqua Traction!

For the last few years Ive had this thought in my head....Let me give you a little back story. I had a buddy a few years ago that had a dog that was 8 years old jump up on the tailgate after a pheasant hunt. His feet were wet and there was some snow on the tailgate. The dog slipped when it hit the tailgate and tore its ACL. Sure it was a freak accident but ive seen my own dogs slip and tweak things.  So, for the last few years ive been thinking about some sort of a tailgate cover to help prevent it. I contacted the guys from Aqua Traction here in North Dakota with my idea and they came up with a soulution!  We also spend a good bit of time talking about running the missouri river in search of giant walleyes!
