The Haydel's WM07 Magnum Open Reed Wood Duck Call delivers authentic wood duck vocalizations that bring birds within range during peak migration periods. This single-reed call produces the distinctive squealing and chattering sounds that wood ducks use for communication, making it essential equipment for waterfowl hunters targeting these wary birds.
What Makes This Different
The open reed design allows for precise breath control and tone modulation that closed reed calls cannot match. Unlike basic wood duck calls that produce limited sounds, the WM07's single reed construction enables hunters to create the full range of wood duck vocalizations from soft feeding chatter to loud hail calls. The magnum bore increases volume output for reaching distant birds in large timber areas.
Key Features
- Single open reed system for authentic wood duck squeals and chatter

Field performance remains consistent whether calling wood ducks in flooded timber, beaver ponds, or creek bottoms. The acrylic material maintains tone integrity in freezing temperatures when wooden calls often crack or change pitch. Hunters report effective range extends beyond 200 yards in open water conditions, while the call's versatility allows for close-range finishing work when birds are circling.
