Haydel's W81 Wood Duck Squealer Open Call - Clear Plastic

The Haydel's W81 Wood Duck Squealer delivers authentic wood duck vocalizations that bring birds within range during waterfowl season. This open-reed call produces the distinctive squealing sounds that wood ducks use for communication, making it an essential tool for hunters targeting these wary birds in timber and backwater areas.

What Makes This Different

The W81 features an open-reed design that allows hunters to manipulate tone and volume through breath control and hand positioning. Unlike closed-reed calls that produce limited sounds, this squealer generates the full range of wood duck vocalizations from soft feeding chatter to loud hail calls. The clear plastic construction provides durability while allowing hunters to monitor reed position and debris accumulation.

This call excels in flooded timber, beaver ponds, and creek bottoms where wood ducks typically feed and roost.
