It's Buck Madness in South Ga.!

The pre rut is in full swing and I was lucky enough to be right in the middle of it when we arrived at Wilderness Calls. It was the second week of November and the temperature dropped down in the lower 30's. My cousin (Dale) and I went out and did some quick scouting and found some fresh pawing and rubs. We put the trail cameras up to see what was making the rubs and pawing. Later that evening we went back to the camp and cooked a good meal. After our stomachs settled, we sat by the camp fire, had a few drinks and talked about the deer we were going to shoot the next morning. We woke up to a beautiful crisp South Georgia morning, we both saw a couple of small bucks grunting and running around but nothing like what we were after. When we got down out of our tree stands, we retrieved the cameras and went back to camp to see what we had captured. It was pretty amazing when we looked at the pictures on one of our cameras! We had two nice 8 pts on camera. We went and moved a tree stand where we had taken the pictures of the two big bucks.

I couldn't wait to go hunting that afternoon! Finally it was time to get in the stand; as I walked to the stand I sprayed some Redneck Guru doe-n-heat estrous down the trail I walked in on. About 5:00 P.M. I hit my Wilderness Calls grunter and followed it with the doe in heat can. About 3 min. later I heard a deer coming in front of me. When I could see the deer that was making the noise, I saw that it was one of the big 8 pts we had on camera. But when he came out he was only 6 yards from me and looked right at me. He was not quite sure where the deer was he heard, so he turned and went back into the pines. I had no chance to take my shot, this made me so mad you could have fried an egg on my face! But I held it together and hit my grunter a couple of times and put it up and waited. About 6:00 P.M. I could hear a deer coming from my left so I got ready, as the deer came out I could see it was the same big 8 pt. So I put the cross hairs right on his shoulder and pulled the trigger. He ran about 20 yards and fell over.

The guru juice strikes again!

Another one bites the dust! I headed out Monday morning to Hatch Bend, FL hunting club, bow hunting. I have been a member there since I was a boy. My Dad and I have been hunting there for over 20 years. I have shot a couple of nice bucks over the years.

As I headed to the stand, I sprayed some Redneck Guru doe in heat estrus on the applicators that I had hung the previous Saturday. As it cracked daylight, I could see a spike coming into my stand. After about 10 minutes of watching the spike, I could see his posture changing as he looked into the woods. As I looked the way he was looking I could see another spike coming in. When they met up, it was a sight to see as they went to fighting! After their standoff, the small spike ran behind my stand. As I was watching the two spikes, there was a squirrel with a pine cone in it's mouth in the tree right beside me. He could see me and wanted to bark but seemed to want the pine cone more. As I turned my head back to the spike in front of me, I about fell out of the stand! I saw the big 8pt I had on camera! He was just standing there. My heart was about to beat out of my chest! It took about 5 minutes before he gave me the shot I wanted, but it felt like a lifetime! Finally, the deer gave me a chance to stand up and pull my bow back. As I pulled the bow back, everything went silent as the arrow hit the big 8pt right behind the shoulder. He left there like a dragster! As I watched him run through the pines, I saw him go down about 50 yards from my stand. I was filled with excitement! When I made it to him, there was no ground shrinking. This is the first buck in Florida that I have ever wanted to get mounted! Thanks to the Redneck Guru I am off to a good start! It's only the 3rd week of bow season in Florida and I have 4 bucks and a doe in the bag!

Don't be the one at camp looking at the other hunter's success! Get the Redneck Guru doe in heat estrus!

Well, good luck and good hunting!

It's buck madness here in Hatch Bend FL! When I got off work Sunday afternoon, my cousin called me and said he had a spot he wanted me to sit at. So, you know me, I can't pass up a chance to hunt! I grabbed my hunting clothes and my Redneck Guru doe in heat estrus and headed to my cousin's property. As I got out of the truck I dragged some Redneck Guru doe in heat estrus behind me to the stand. After a couple of hours in the stand everything began to calm down. All I had seen were squirrels and one coon. About 6:45 I heard a couple of footsteps coming from behind me. I turned my head and saw a nice 7pt coming down the trail. As he came into range, I stood up and put my 30yrd pin right on his shoulder and let him have it! He ran about 40yds and piled up. The Redneck Guru doe in heat estrus strikes again!

Hey fellow readers it's that time again in Fla. when you suit up in your best hunting clothes and head to the woods, for another bow hunting adventure. Saturday morning I headed to the woods just like 1000's of other hunters, looking for that big buck. I saw a lot of small bucks and a couple of does but I decided to let them go. As Sunday came around my trigger finger was itching. I saw a doe and a yearling about 8:00 a.m. but that was it. It was nearing 10:00 a.m. so I decided to get down. As I looked up I saw a buck coming toward the Red Neck Guru's Doe-in-heat estrous, I had hung (using the Redneck Guru's Applicator) from a tree 20 yards from my stand. I decided it was time to break the ice. I pulled the old Martin Warthog back and let the rage broad head fly. I hit the nice 8 pt right behind the shoulder. He ran about 20 yards and fell over dead. The Guru's estrous strikes again! This is the best doe estrous I have ever used, bar NONE!

Lighting strikes twice as I headed to the woods Monday morning. When I walked to the stand I drug some Redneck Guru Doe-In-Heat behind me, as I walked to my stand. When the sun started to peak above the trees my mind was racing with all the thoughts of a big buck. After a couple of hours in the stand not much was moving. As I was about to call it a day I could hear some turkeys coming in the background. While I was paying attention to the turkeys I could hear something tearing the world up down the trail I had walked in on. When they broke out in the opening I could see a nice 7 point chasing a doe. As he hit one of my shooting lanes I had cut out the summer before. I pulled my bow back and let it ride. As it hit his shoulder he went down like a sack of taters. I love this doe estrous. Well pops another one bites the dust.

Bow Season Begins 2009

It's that time again. Bow hunting season is here. As I headed north all I could think of was a big buck coming by my stand. After getting to the camp and meeting up with my dad. We got our bows out and made sure they were still shooting true. As we sat by the fire we talked some smack about the big bucks we were going to shoot. After sitting in the stand a couple of times we figured out the deer were moving late because of the moon. As the weekend was coming to an end I figured I would head out Sunday afternoon to one of my hideaway stands. As I was sitting in the stand I could hear some thunder in the back ground as a storm was heading my way. But through the thunder I could hear some footsteps in the back ground. As I could see what was making the sounds it was two mature does. As they started to feed under the oak tree I was set up on. I figured it was time to do a little doe management. As the doe looked up to smell the redneck guru doe in heat I had hung from the oak tree it gave me the shot I wanted so I stood up and let the rage fly. It was a perfect shot and a quick recovery as I could hear her go down. After getting back to the camp the bragging began as I showed my dad the big doe I shot. Once again another good hunt at Wilderness Calls. Well now pops is down by two.

Hey its Sam JR. again it was hog wild in Georgia. Me and my dad was up the 17^th & 18^th moving some stands and doing a little summer scouting when we found a spot were several hogs had been staying. So we sat up a stand and Saturday afternoon about 6:00 I snuck back down to the stand. I saw all kinds of birds and squirrels but no hogs. About 8:00 I heard a rustling in the trees and I could hear some hogs squalling and coming my way. So I got my 270 savage out and ready to take the shot. I had 7 hogs and 2 pigs come in. I picked out the biggest sow and put the cross hairs on her and pulled the trigger. When I looked up all the hogs ran off but the one I was shooting at she fell right in her tracks. That 150 grain Remington core locks don't play. It was another succefull hunt at wilderness calls. It put my dad down by one now he has to play catch up.

March Turkey Hunt

Hello fellow hunters and visitors to Wilderness Calls, it is me again, just a few months into 2009. On Monday afternoon 03/30/09, I was attempting to hunt one of the large hogs at Wilderness Calls all comfortable in a climber when to my surprise about 200 yards in front of me was a turkey gobbling. I decided that I would rather forget about hog hunting and listen to hear the big bird fly into a tree for the night. Just before dark I heard the magnificent bird fly into a tree about 200 yards in front of me. I then eased out of the wilderness and went back to camp; the hunt would be on the next morning. I advised dad that we would be eating turkey then next day, he just laughed. The next morning dad said he was going hog hunting while I went to harvest the turkey. I awoke at 6:20 A.M. and eased back into the wilderness where the large bird had slept the night before. I located a spot that would be perfect to call the large bird to when he woke up and settled in, wearing my 3-D camo. As day light broke and the woods came alive, several critters were within feet of my location and did not observe me. I then heard a hoot owl give out a loud call that was so loud it echoed through the woods I was located in. As soon as the owl hooted the turkey began to gobble, as if the two large birds were in competition to see which one could make the most noise. I first attempted to call him into me with a Primos slate call and all he would do is gobble at it but would not venture any closer. This is when I changed to a bat and cut mouth call, which had this large bird eating out of my hand. Then he came into view with all his feathers out as he strutted and drummed in the pine forest, truly a magnificent site. The large bird repeated this for what seemed like forever, but was more like ten minutes, refusing to come any closer. Then as my heart was pounding in my chest I hit the mouth call one more time and the large bird turned and began to head in my direction. Just before my heart jumped out of my chest he got close enough for me to take the shot, another successful hunt. When I reached the camp, dad had a large hog on the ATV but was all smiles to see the turkey as well, saying "son we did good".
