Buck Gardner Calls

These guys bought logo calls from me, and they are friends as well.
On the left is Larry Cottham and brother Joe Cottham on the right. They are members of the CBC hunting club and hunt in Heth AR.

Thanks, Ryan H

Buck here is a pic of this year. I really wanted to test that poly up here in the cold country. When do you think the poly spit tech will be ready ?

Buck - FYI

Just a picture from an evening shoot in Colusa County California on late warm evening in mid December. Not a lot of green but the widgeon and sprig could not resist the Tall Timber (Spit Tech) or the Buck Brush. The pure ducky sound of these calls had them backpedaling in the decoys all evening. Couple of days later took a father son on a guided hunt and the Buck Brush struck again. It was there idea to shoot the 'Boot Lips' Thanks Buck for allowing me to be part of a great organization.

These pictures were taken on Saturday with fellow Pro Staffers Jay Longhauser
and Casey Self. We were hunting a corn field in East Central Kansas and
filming a segment for the Fowl Play 4 video. The little man is my son Cole.
He is a Buck Gardner Pro Staffer in the making.

Thanks,

Dear Buck

I just wanted to drop you a line and show you what a good spread of G&H decoys, couple of mojo's,and Buck Gardner duck calls can do. A four man limit by 8:30 no kidding. 20 gaddy's, 2 mallard drakes, and 2 wiegon

Thanks again for the quality products you produce!!

I have been searching for years for some good recipes to cook duck where it is eatable. I have found several that are alright but it takes all day and in my case at least three bottles of wine. One for the duck, one for the cook while I am cooking and one to serve the guests so they will think they like it.

My favorite daughter in law gave me your book for Christmas along with a bottle of your seasoning. This weekend I thawed out four breast and tried the "Flying Filet Mignon". I also used the mint bourbon sauce. WOW!!!!!!!

It really is unbelievable. You are a true hit. Congratulations. I have tried two of your seasoning, the CC Garlic Parmesan and CC Jamaican. Both are good but the Garlic Parmesan is fantastic.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Early this past season i purchased a tall timber II and let me tell you, that is one great call. In face i liked it so much that a few weeks ago I also went out and bought a double nasty and again I wasnt dissapointed. They both are easy to blow and always go to the blind with me. I just wanted to commend you on making an awesome product at a reasonable cost. Keep up the good work.
thanks

Hey Buck,
Well I thought I would just send a family photo of a clear and cold morning of goose hunting out here in the valley. Despite the cold and the bright sunshine I still think we come out alright.

Hi to whom ever may read this- I'm 15 and I met Buck Gardner at the canadian border late sept 24. I must say of all the profesional waterfowlers he's the nicest of all of them i've met. I started my year off hunting by the oakhammock refuge me and my dad shot 30 ducks, and 18 geese in 2 1/2 days i was the only one calling and the longest it took us to limit on geese is 55 minitues and we only shot greaters, i was using the canadian hammer 2, and the buckshot magnum. I hunted all 60 days of the minnesota duck season and recently returned from oklahoma where i went with 3 others who haven't hunted ducks since they were kids i called in limits every day and in 4 days in Oklahoma we shot 96 ducks and 5 geese. With those calls i personally killed 161 birds this year and around half were in minnesota where ducks are supposed to be impossible to kill.I've had to learn by myself how to hunt waterfowl since my dad had never seriously hunted waterfowl and no one in my family has and my dad only hunted with me the days i was in canada because he's got his family meat market to run. Your calls have made teaching myself to hunt waterfowl it alot easier and now i'm very confident about my calling and your calls so thank you. I espically loved Fowl play 2, i've got around 25 duck hunting videos and it's my favorite, my favorite hunt is the goose shoot where buck spots the polar bear. I found the fowl play videos the most helpful learning hunting techniques.

Hope you all had a merry Christmas!! Ours started out awesome but ended a little unfortunate. Started out Friday, for the Missouri goose opener, we killed 30 Canada geese and 9 mallards and a gadwall all by 9am (one of which that was banded). First two picks. (notice I smiled for you in this one!!! He he) the one is of Joel and his cousin Mathew who was on his first ever goose hunt (not bad to have your first goose hunt end with this many honkers dead. Day two 4 of us went out and shot 8 honkers by 9am and then we had to boogy to x-mas lunch at my in-laws before we headed to the x-mas eve service, then headed back to Illinois late that night to spend x-mas day with my family. The picture is me my father-in-law Bruce Tiffany and my two labs Chase (BLF) and her daughter Basel (2 YO YLF) This was Bruce's, and Basel's first goose hunt and they both got them a goose or two!! Then Monday my dad and brother went out in IL and he shot a banded goose.

Tuesday morning before we left Illinois to head back to KC, I took our dogs to the vet to have their rabbi shots done and I decided to go ahead and get them checked for heart worms as well, Basel was healthy as an OX and her test came out negative but unfortunately Chase's was positive for phase 2 heart worms. Luckily she hasn't shown any signs of the symptoms yet so we think we caught it plenty early, and she is doing fine after her first day of treatments. She has her second and final round of treatment today and then she has to be on doggy bed rest for 4-6 weeks with no extra activity because the treatment puts them under so much stress and it can cause blood clots, then 6 months later we will have to test her again so unfortunately last Saturday was her last hunt of the seasonvestock for years so I am pretty confident in there reassurance that she will make it through ok, they said they have only lost one dog from this that they treated and that was because she was too far along in the illness. I just thank God that I went ahead and got them tested for it, don’t know what I would do with out her. I just ask that you all keep her in your thoughts and prayers, Basel has been stepping up to the plate showing that she is ready to be starting so to speak, so I guess it will be her time to shine.


Thanks. And happy holidays!!!

Dear Buck,
This is a picture of Brienna, my neice. I am one of Robbie Curtis's camera guys... Ive hunted with him and fished with him for years. You may remember me at Portland. My name is Brian Ward. This little girl shot this buck with one shot through the heart. She Carries a Winchester Mod. 70 416 Rigby. The buck was running at 600 yds. This deer was kicked out of the brush near a place called Plummer, Idaho, in the Panhandle of North Idaho. She says she led it by a bus length. Says she will be a super star someday and she it looks like she has a good thing going. I want to wish you and your family a Happy Holiday Season.... and good hunting. Now is when you should be with Rob on the River....the Ice Palace..that rain will let up and it should be.... Incredibley great duck hunting in south Idaho right now....

Sincerely,
Brian Ward

This kid knows how to take a picture....
She has been watching the guys on TV and will be a Super Star someday.....
I better teach her how to use a duck call.... before I introduce her...
Always looking for a Trophy to hang on the wall...

Have a good day.....

Buck,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your participation in the youth hunt at the "Taj Mahal" on Tuesday, 12/27/05. I don't know about the rest of the kids, but you made my daughter feel special. She has told anyone that will listen about her new friend Buck and his dog "Cruise". I know you are busy and your time is valuable. It is not often enough that people that have been blessed as you have, take the time to share some of those blessings. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated it. I am attaching a couple of pictures, I'm sure your photo albums are full, but not with something this pretty, I guess you can tell I am kind of proud of her! Thanks again, and hopefully we can meet again sometime.

Jack Wilkes

To Buck and the whole team,

Thank you! Your line of product is outstanding! To be totally honest i have not used your product until now, but I will not hunt with anything else ever again! I am the proud new owner of the Tall Timber 2 and the Canada Hammer 2, and I don't know how I got along without them in the past. I have had the greatest duck and goose season that I have ever had! You have taken quality, affordability, and technology and combinded them into a precision instrument. I realize now that to have the best hunt YOU MUST HUNT WITH THE BEST. Thank you again so much! Enclosed is a picture of the luck that you have brought me!
