I am from Torrington, WY and recently ordered the single reed Pocket Rocket duck call in the single reed. I ordered it on Tuesday, and received the call today. I can not believe how fast that little bad boy got here. I can not believe how GOOD this call sounds, at least to me. We are in the middle of a split in our season, so I have another week before the ducks tell me how good I sound on this call, but I wanted you to know I really appreciate your quick response and coming up with a great call. I have a high dollar acrylic call from another great call making company, and it sounds great until the reed starts sticking. And it cost me alot more than $40.00. Thanks alot, its nice to get products/calls that don't break the bank that are as well made as this little gem.

Finally got to chase some MO teal this morning. I was using a Double Nasty II and a Buck Gardner Whistle. We had to shoo these Blue Wings out of the decoys to shoot 'em! Thanks for making great calls!

I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks. Last duck season a friend of mine talked me into going duck hunting for the first time. I had never hunted ducks before, though it makes sense to, I hunt everything else. I didn't know anything about it though, someone offering to show me the ropes sure helped cut the confusion. He covered the basics and we were off. It wasn’t bad, but not what I was expecting. I didn’t see the results I thought we would.
I started asking around for tips, and going more often thinking it had to be better than this. Tip one was decoys, ok no sweat, a few of several different types of ducks and we are off. Next tip was a call, this really presented a problem, I know not all calls are created equal. I knew nothing of calling ducks, I can call elk, moose, deer, coyote, and Turkeys with no trouble what so ever, but ducks, I didn’t even know what they sounded like. I bought your Straight Talk cd and it came with Mallard Magic call and your 6n1. That and a few hours of practice the decoys and I was getting to at least getting them in close enough to tell a Mallard from a teal.
This year's season opened here the other day. I had picked up your Double Nasty II call in the spring and I have had all summer to play with it. My first hunt this year and I had ducks in the boat. Literally turning ducks around and bringing them straight to my decoys. I still have a lot of trouble with the feeding sounds but the other calls on your cd work extremely well for me.
My buddy that got me into duck hunting used that laughing method to call, I thought he could use some help so I got him a cd of his own. He and I are working different shifts, with different days off, but we will hunt together every chance we get, and I would bet we will have much better luck.

Thank you
Pete W.

A few months ago you mailed me some window stickers for my boat and truck to let my clients know the products I use. Thanks again to you and Buck.
Unfortunatly I took the photos before I put on the stickers but be assured they are on their now and waiting for the first hunt.

Thanks again,

This is Brian Eatmon again and i just wanted you to see what the Canada Hammer has done for us so far this year. We've been on numerous hunts this September season and have ha luck everytime. I even lucked up and shot a band so this season is really going great. But anyways, i hope that you are having a good so far and I'll talk to you later. Thanks again Buck.

Thanks for the assistance this AM when we chatted. I look forward to receiving the call.
I’m having more and more of a difficult time finding quality acrylic calls that operate as well in the field CONSISTENTLY as they do when you give ‘em a brief workout at home. I have several that sound and operate great there only to have them STICK out in the field. NOT GOOD! Fortunately I always carry a couple with me so I’m not caught with my pants down at that crucial moment when birds are working. Catch my drift?

Anyhow I thought you should here that. This Double Nasty call will compliment the Tall Timber one I have already.

Thanks for quality calls.

Buck,

We saw your rig parked at the Baldwin Super 8 Sunday moring at 5 am. We were
staying there too. We were returning from an area about 187 miles northwest
of Winnipeg after a 5 day hunt for ducks and geese. We were helping to start
the fall migration. The attached photo was taken 9/29/06.

Best regards,

First Pro Staff Outing by Gary Bottinger

I must say the entire family was excited about doing our first seminars for Buck Gardner Calls. We had everything loaded up and ready the night before so we could hit the road right after work on Friday. The day dragged on for Bridget, Jade and me and finally 5 bells rang and I was off to pick up the girls. We grabbed a quick bite and off we went.

Leaving Northeast Nebraska at 5:30pm to drive all the way across the state might not have been the best plan but it the only option we had.


We arrived around 1:30 AM Central Standard Time or as we found out 12:30 AM Mountain Standard Time. We unloaded and everyone tried to get some shut eye before the big day. All of us were up and ready to go check out the store.

I was impressed with how well everything looked, even the ducks and geese on the pond.

The geese would be our classic definition of Parkies (park geese that are not very afraid of humans).


These two had other plans when they saw me approach and decided they better head to friendlier waters. It couldn't have been the way I was eyeing those bands now could it?






The entrance of the Cabelas Store has a wonderful statue of two bull elk fighting and just puts you right into the outdoors mood.

We had a little bit to check out the store and the hunting area that we would be giving the seminars in and also had a chance to go outside and see where the calling contest was going to be held. At that point Jade decided she was going to enter the contest. At that point no one else had signed up in her division so I think that had a little something to do with it. She got signed up and then her and my wife decided they better get something to eat. I went into the store and got ready to give my first seminar for buck Gardner Calls.

I met two individuals from Avery Outdoors that were very helpful and knowledgeable about the products they were supporting. Inside the were making an announcement for the seminar and a few kids showed up to learn how to make a duck call.


I tried to go about the class very relaxed and to show the kids it didn't matter how they sounded on the call only that they were going to have fun doing it. It was amazing how fast some of the kids picked it up.







Even the girls were getting into it and doing a great job.

This little gal was 4 years old and I think her mom was pretty darned proud of how well she was doing.






I did my best to go around to each kid that was there and listen to them on their quack and their cluck. The first one under my belt I was feeling very good about how well the kids took to calling.

I headed outside to hook up with Jade and see if she was ready for the contest. She had a few nerves as anyone would and I told he it's just a bunch of ducks so no big deal. Hail em hard, greet sweet and feed em down. She laughed at me and said yeah like it's that easy. We did some mimic calling to put her at ease and get her warmed up. At nine she never fails to amaze me. We were sitting there and recalled it was almost a year to the day that she blew in her first contest. It was at the Ponca Expo where Jade met Buck and took his seminar. Buck was nice enough to sign two Delta Waterfowl prints for her and those are still hanging in her room today. The announcer called for the youth callers and it was go time.

There was one 12 year old boy that was entered in the contest with her. She was nervous and so was he. It was his first contest and he did a great job on the stage. Jade got up and I think I was more nervous then her but after that first hail call things settled down. She only blew about half her routine (nerves got the best of her) and was worried it wouldn't be good enough. I told her I think she sounded better but it would be up to the judges if it was long enough.

Trea ended up taking second and Jade taking first. It was her first contest win and she was very happy to have won it. It is really neat to me that she competed for the first time after meeting Buck then wins her first contest while I am out doing Seminars for Buck. My hats off to Cabelas and the judges of the contest. My trip was made with Jade winning the contest but I had to get back to doing what I was there for.

Back inside the store one four year old boy and his dad came up between seminars and ask if he was to young to take the class. I told him if he could hold the call he could sure give it a go. The 4 year old boy commenced to telling me we should only kill daddy ducks and not mommy ducks or we won't have any daddy ducks left. I have spent a lot of time with kids but this little guy just made my whole day. I was on cloud nine already with Jade winning and this little guy just put me up there a few more notches. In no time he was blowing a voot through the call and sound A OK. Off to the three blind mice we went. He said the nursery rime a few times and then he tried to do it through the call. I think all the people around the counter were surprised when he did it and it sounded darn good. We worked on that for a bit then moved one to a cluck. Tic wasn't working real well so he tried saying da and after a little work with him blowing harder it sounded great.

His father thanked me and I told him no thanks necessary. Little guys like him were the reason I become part of Buck Gardners outfit and Buck's commitment to kids. I stayed around the store for a while then headed outside. I had missed this little guy sitting down in the decoys and calling ducks. Everyone I talked to said he was doing a great job and they couldn't believe he was only 4.

Day two arrives and all of us were a little better rested and ready. I didn't think it would be possible to surpass day one but we were going to give it a shot.

I had my helper for the whole day and we were ready to have some fun. The first class we had about 6 kids and Jade did a great job helping out. I did the same thing as the day before and did my best to help each kid out with a few seconds of one on one and listened to them all. In my mind they all were great and that is all that mattered. Jade

Chris Jones and Jerrod Watson from Avery Outdoors were a great help to me and help us pass the time between seminars. Both are very knowledgeable outdoors men and I look forward to our paths crossing again.
