Let the Calling Coach show you how to do it

One of the game calling industry’s most innovative devices has an added appeal.

In fact, it’s got twice the appeal.

We’re talking about Memphis-based Buck Gardner Calls’ Calling Coach, which makes becoming a better game caller as simple as pushing a button.

After its debut in the fall of 2006 as a learning tool for duck and goose callers, the Calling Coach has added two of the fastest growing hunting pursuits to its hunter friendly line of products – turkey and predator hunting.

The Calling Coach is an idea that one Buck’s sons, Patrick, came up with as an extension of the digital talking boxes where in-store customers could push a button and hear information, along with the sound, of a particular Buck Gardner Calls product.

“We just took (that concept) one step farther,” says Buck, world champion and champion of champion duck caller.

The newest members of BGC’s Calling Coach line have a suggested retail price of $14.99.

Measuring about 3 inches long and 1 ½ inches wide, the Calling Coach fits perfectly into a person’s shirt pocket.

“A lot of people, me included, may not be a good predator or turkey caller,” Buck says. “But I’ve always wanted to be better at whatever I do. With the Calling Coach you can practice in your truck, at home or just about anyplace and don’t ever have to stop and rewind or fast forward.”

In other words, you can practice when and where you want to practice. There’s even an open space at the top of the Calling Coach to slip a lanyard through, making it an easy to carry hunting practice tool.

For coyotes, there’s a distress call for coyote pups, birds, cottontails and jackrabbits.

For turkeys, there are calls that mimic ground scratching, ground scratching and purr, purr and yelp.

All at the push of a button.

As to who’s providing the sounds for the latest members of BGC’s Calling Coach line, Buck enlisted some of the best callers in the U.S. to make sure the sounds were exactly what he wanted them to be.

That’s why Joe Bradshaw supplied the sounds for the Calling Coach’s predator line.

Bradshaw is a retired Arkansas State Trooper and member of BGC’s predator pro staff who has spent a lifetime hunting one critter after another over the hills and hollers of the rugged and beautiful landscape near his home in Ozark, Ark.

You name it, Joe’s probably hunted it.

In the last few years, Joe says he has added predator hunting to his resume in “a big way.”

Almost, he says with a laugh, “to the exclusion of other forms of hunting.”

Bradshaw was involved in the design and creative of Buck Gardner Calls’ Distressed Rabbit predator calls, which come in four unique sounds, including the super loud coaxer, raspy cotton jack and 2 Fur. We’re talking about calls capable of long-range calling rabbit screams, along with rodent coaxer/squeaker for close-in calling.

When it comes to predator hunting, the Calling Coach isn’t necessarily just a practice tool. Where allowed, it can be an effective way to entice coyotes, bobcats and other predators into shooting range.

It’s the same with the Calling Coach for turkeys.

Sportsmen are urged to check their local, state and federal regulations for those areas where the device can be legally used as a hunting tool.

One thing we know for sure, when it comes to a practice tool, nothing beats the Calling Coach.

The Calling Coach operates off a hearing aid battery and should last more than 3,000 pushes before having to replace the battery.
