The Haydel's Game Calls DB85 Deer Bleat delivers authentic doe vocalizations that bring deer within range during critical hunting moments. This open reed call produces the natural bleating sounds that communicate distress, curiosity, and social interaction among whitetails.
What Makes This Different
The DB85 features an open reed design that allows hunters to control tone, volume, and cadence through breath control and hand positioning. Unlike closed reed calls that produce limited sounds, this acrylic construction enables variable pitch control for different deer vocalizations. The clear acrylic body provides durability while allowing visual confirmation of proper reed positioning and maintenance.

Field performance centers on versatility across hunting scenarios. The DB85 excels during pre-rut periods when does establish social hierarchies and communicate territorial boundaries. Early season hunting benefits from soft social bleats, while late season applications require louder distress calls. The open reed responds to subtle breath pressure changes, allowing hunters to match deer behavior observed in the field.
