Testimonial

The Oregon Festival

Please pass on to Buck.

Sean related to me about you helping him out on the reeds after Mr Bret did him the dirt. THANKYOU for going the extra mile.
Not too much of a coincidence to see you doing what you always have to foster calling amungst the young. There's a lot that talk it but don't walk it. You are one of the few that do both.

Thanks once again!

I would really appreciate if you would forward a message to Buck regarding the Oregon Waterfowl Festival. We are a guide service here in Oregon that also had a booth at the waterfowl festival. My oldest son (8) went to the show with us and has been trying to learn how to really blow his duck call. Granted my husband if a waterfowl guide and my son thinks there is nothing better in the world than hunting. My husband talked to Buck about sending Carson over to his booth to learn to call and Buck of course responded, Any Time. Carson went to sit with Buck on Sunday morning and although they didn’t get a chance to sit through a training session themselves Buck really made Carson feel special and he can’t wait to see him again. I just wanted to say a big thank you for making a young boy feel important. Too many times this boy has sat in front of booths waiting to buy waterfowl gear and grown ups just look over him, I’ve seen him stand in front of another caller’s booth with his own money waiting to buy a call and wait for 45 minutes before they say a word to him. As some of us realize these are our hunters of tomorrow and if we don’t teach them and acknowledge them they don’t grow. Again, thank you for making my boy feel as special as he is.

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks to Buck for doing his thing at the Oregon Waterfowl Festival. I had a chance walk and talk a little with Buck on the way to his seminar. I also spent a little time at his booth checking out calls and listening to what he had to say. I really liked the words of encouragement Buck gave to a young man entering his first calling competition. It wasn't just words of encouragement to this particular man, but I heard many words of encouragement to all the youngsters that he spoke with.

Also, I truly enjoyed his seminar and tried to let it all soak in. I would love to spend a few days in the field with him just listening to his hunting techniques.

I had the chance to "test drive" the new "pocket rocket" call and really loved them. I planned on getting back out today to purchase one and let Buck play with it a little, but due to a change of plans, I never made it back out. Is this call available on your website? And if so, which model is the "pocket rocket"?

Respectfully,
Bill Wenger

Champion’s Choice – Garlic Parmesan Seasoning – Takes Top Award
Hey Tamara and Buck, how have you been doing? Just wanted to write you a little email and let you know that a buddy of mine and myself were in a cook off last weekend and won first place on our beans. They were seasoned up with the Garlic Parmesean seasoning. Buck you might remember the guy that was with me when we stopped by your shop, his name is Paul Mahar. The cook off was a benefit for the guy that I talked to you about with Hodgkins Disease. He is so excited about being able to hunt with you this year. Well just thought that I would drop you this, now you can add Award Winning Seasoning to the title. Take care and talk to you guys soon.

My first coyote was taken in Snowville, Virginia on April 13. It was
an overcast afternoon. The buddies and I were supposed to go fishing
and they bailed after work. So with about 30 minutes of daylight left
I headed out to an area that I know hadn't seen a hunter in at least
three months. I parked my truck, unloaded the Hornet and quietly made
way into the woods, with my Buck Gardner rabbit squealer (the only
predator call of any kind at Wal-Mart in Galax, VA). It was about a 60
yard Hollow, with steep hills on either side. On one side was real
thick briars grown back from logging in years past. The other was
steep and had trees and your typical mounatian scene of leaves, and
green sprouting out. I know this isn't a typical time of year to head
out calling. But there's nothing better than experience, right? I
reached the spot where I decided to set up against a rotten log. I let
the woods settle back down for about 10 minutes. Then I started my
call sequence trying very diligently to put feeling into it as
instructed through articles of Predator Xtreme. Not wanting to
over-call after 4 sequences I started my pause. After this I heard an
animal prancing through the leaves. In my head I stated stupid
squirrels. You know the ones that sound like a 30-point buck during
deer season that get's your hopes up and your heart in your throat
when you haven't seen a deer all week, then prances out and reveals
himself. Well it wasn't. All of a sudden not two minutes into my call
sequence the alleged 100 pound squirrel showed itself. Or rather
themselves. It was two yotes - I didn't know what to do. I was never
expecting this day to come. I froze! Then gathering my thoughts I put
the crosshairs of my .22 Hornet right on his boilermaker. Squeezed the
trigger and he went into his deathtwirl just as seen on all the
calling videos. Then he was down.

I attached a picture of me and the yote. The yote looks better than I
do. It's a horrible picture of me. I also attached a picture of the
Buck Gardner call that I used and love!!
