Dear Buck:

I have been using your Scent Zapper scent eliminating products for the last two years and have found no other spray that works like yours. I hunt primarily in Florida and South Georgia where the weather is frequently very hot and humid. Even in the most extreme conditions, your Scent Zapper has allowed me to get closer to game and keep my presence from the wariest of noses. Further, I have found that I don't need to reapply as often because your spray lasts longer after one application than others I have used in the past. Not only is it a great spray product, but it works wonders in the laundry at wash time as well. I wash all my hunting clothes in non-scented, camo soap with a cap full of your Scent Zapper and everything comes out smelling like fresh dirt! I took 3 bucks this year using your product, all of which came in from down wind... and none of them ever smelled me. This buck was taken at 27 yards dead down wind in 80 degree weather and he never knew what hit him. I manage several hunting properties and make all my hunters use your Scent Zapper because it works like nothing else I've ever tried before. Keep up the great work!

Brad,
I just wanted to send you a little info on the Pocket Rocket I got from you last year at the waterfowl expo in Greenville, NC. I don’t really know were to start with this call, its range and working ability is dynamic. From the softest feed call to a ringing hail call, it does it all. However, I can say that I was a little skeptical when you said that the more condensation that built up in the bore the better it would sound. Well, my skepticism was quickly laid to rest during a timber hunt that included four mallards and about two inches of rain! That call never gave up, and kept spinning the birds on the wing down into the dekes until we had our limits. In my past experience's with other calls, the reeds would hang up with slightest of moisture, but not my Buck Gardner Pocket Rocket. That call will hunt as long as you have the wind for it and the sun lets you have your legal shooting time. I'm no expert, by any means, but I feel like even the greenest of waterfowlers could pick this call up and with a little practice could soon have birds locked up in the decoys. In short, I wanted to thank you guys at Buck Gardner calls for an all-around, reasonable, no worry duck call that can handle any weather or physical abuse you can put it through. Like you said, the wetter it gets, the better it works! Thanks!!

Hello Tamara and Buck Gardner calls.

I wanted to send you a note. For the last couple of months Andy, Dave and I have been working on making the mouth pieces and bell housings for the reed assemblies that you sent us and we have begun implementing them into the general student classes. It is one of the most popular projects that I have ever done with the students. I know you will be happy to here we have enjoyed almost every general ed teacher in the building with the flock of Geese noises coming out of the wood shop. I personally have enjoyed this exercise more than anything else that I have done with the students. Thank you for the wonderful donations and we will be sending out a custom Goose call for you and yours. I even went so far as to have the instructional cd available during class to help the students learn how to use the call they just made. Needless to say, we are better at making them then calling them but we are practicing hard. Please feel free to forward this e-mail around so that my students and I can personally thank all those involved.

Once again thank you, Tamara, and all of you at Buck Gardner calls; you have given many students a great first experience with the world of Goose hunting and calling.

A True Spit Tech Test

I have been blowing the Buck Gardner main street every day to brush up for the upcoming comps. I came home last night and empty out my pockets and went to change my cloths and came back and found that my 8 month old little girl had my Call all slobbered down with her droll and she would not give it back so I let her play with it for a little bit.... she had that thing full of spit it was dripping out the insert bore... when I got it back the call it had no problem with running a main street routine and never once skipped a note... the true spit tech test…

Hi Tamara,

I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures from our youth goose hunt this past weekend. We had 3 boys who made this hunt and they all had a good time. Unfortunately the full moon and high winds made it a difficult hunt but we did have birds come in and decoy just out of range. After the morning hunt we went back to the trailers and had a nice hot meal and gave out prizes to the youth. My son was fortunate this time and was drawn for the hunt and in his words had an "awesome day".

Thank you and Buck Gardner so much for helping sponsor this hunt.

Sincerely,
