The Haydel's CW03 Compensator Wood Duck Call delivers authentic wood duck vocalizations that bring birds within range during peak migration periods. This open reed call features a compensator design that maintains consistent tone and volume across varying weather conditions and calling intensities.
What Makes This Different
The compensator system sets this call apart from standard wood duck calls by automatically adjusting air flow to prevent over-blowing and maintain realistic pitch control. While traditional calls can become shrill or lose tonal quality under aggressive calling, the CW03's internal compensation mechanism ensures consistent duck-like sounds even during extended calling sessions. The open reed configuration allows for greater volume projection and tonal variation compared to closed reed alternatives.
Key Features
- Compensator system prevents over-blowing and maintains consistent tone

- Compact profile fits easily in hunting vest pockets or lanyards
- Produces authentic wood duck squeals, whistles, and chatter calls

Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from freezing conditions to warm early season hunts. The call produces the distinctive rising squeal of hen wood ducks along with the softer contact calls used by feeding birds. Hunters report effective results in timber hunting, flooded fields, and beaver pond scenarios where wood ducks typically concentrate during migration.
