The Haydel's DG87 Deer Grunt Call delivers authentic buck vocalizations that trigger territorial responses during peak rutting activity. This clear plastic grunter produces the deep, resonant tones that mature whitetails recognize as challenge calls from competing males.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard grunt tubes that muffle sound through opaque materials, the DG87's clear construction allows hunters to visually monitor the internal reed position for consistent tone production. The precision-molded chamber creates optimal air flow dynamics that generate authentic frequency ranges between 50-200 Hz. This design eliminates the hollow, artificial sound common in cheaper calls while maintaining volume control through variable breath pressure.
Key Features
- Clear polycarbonate construction for visual reed monitoring and durability
- Adjustable reed system produces authentic buck grunt frequencies
- Compact 6-inch length fits easily in pocket or pack
- Lanyard attachment point prevents loss during active hunting
- Weather-resistant materials withstand moisture and temperature extremes
- No-maintenance design requires no tuning or adjustment
- Produces both aggressive grunts and subtle contact calls
Field testing demonstrates effective calling ranges up to 150 yards in open timber, with response rates highest during pre-rut and peak breeding phases. The call excels in both stand hunting and spot-and-stalk scenarios where quick, quiet operation matters. Temperature variations from -10°F to 90°F show no impact on tone quality or reed function. The clear body construction proves advantageous when hunting pressured deer that have learned to identify artificial calls by their unnatural harmonics.
