Haydels Duck Game Call: Easy Cajun Squeal for Mallard Hunters

Every hunter knows the difference a single, well-timed call can make when mallards are working a field. Solid technique starts with the right tool — a call that matches what the ducks are hearing on their way in and what they’re making when feeding. We approach duck calling like we approach any tactical problem: clear intent, efficient execution, and a tool built for the job.

HAYDELS DUCK

HAYDELS DUCK is a Cajun Squeal style call designed specifically to mimic the feeding and squeal notes of mallards working rice and shallow grain fields. With barrels shaped to make the doublereeded squeal easier to produce, this call delivers a realistic feeding cadence for hunters working decoys at close to moderate ranges. It ships with a lanyard and carries an approachable price of $27.89.

Why the Cajun Squeal Matters for Mallard Hunts

Cajun Squeal calls are a staple for hunters wanting to replicate loud, nasal vocalizations that attract curious mallards. Because mallards often give squeal-style notes while feeding or bumping around in rice, having a call that produces a convincing, resonant squeal will trigger closer investigation. When paired with good decoy presentation and timing, a Cajun Squeal can be the decisive factor in converting pass-by birds into committed landings.

Design and Features

Barrel Geometry Built for the Squeal

The barrel design on HAYDELS DUCK is tuned specifically to make the doublereeded squeal more accessible to operators of all skill levels. Rather than requiring aggressive throat shaping or extreme breath control, the barrels help the reed pair vibrate cleanly and produce the desired nasal tone without undue effort.

Doublereeded Performance

Doublereeded calls are prized for their ability to generate bright, cutting tones that maintain presence at range. HAYDELS DUCK leverages that doublereeded character to create a squeal that carries through ambient noise — ideal for working over active, feeding flocks.

Lanyard for Field Readiness

Every HAYDELS DUCK comes with a lanyard so you can keep the call accessible while in the blind or on a layout. The simple addition of a lanyard reduces fumbling when the action starts and keeps the call protected between sequences.

How to Use HAYDELS DUCK: Tactical Calling Tips

We recommend a three-step approach: listen, match, and mix. Start by listening to the birds — are they vocalizing while feeding? If so, begin with short squeal notes to imitate nearby feeding. Match volume and cadence; you don’t need to be louder than the flock, you need to sound natural. Finally, mix the Cajun Squeal with softer feeding chuckles to sell the illusion of a productive feeding area.

For beginners, the barrel design on HAYDELS DUCK lowers the learning curve. Try a short sequence of two to three squeals, pause for a few seconds, then add a softer feeding chuckle. This pattern replicates the stop-and-evaluate behavior mallards display and can be particularly effective on birds approaching from mid-range.

Field Setup and Positioning

When working rice or stubble fields, present decoys in tight groups with a few outward-facing singles to simulate active feeding. Position your calling cadence to the wind and bird traffic; a Cajun Squeal is most effective when it sounds like birds are actively bumping into the food source. Use the call sparingly at first — too much continuous squealing can sound unnatural.

Distance and Volume Control

HAYDELS DUCK’s doublereeded output is inherently bright, so focus on breath control for volume modulation. For distant birds, short, firm squeals will carry better than long, breathy notes. Close-range birds often respond to brief, nasal squeals followed by a soft feeding chuckle.

At $27.89, HAYDELS DUCK strikes a balance between affordability and performance. Its barrel geometry is intentionally optimized for the Cajun Squeal, making it a practical choice for both new callers and experienced hunters looking for a dependable feeding call. The included lanyard adds field-ready convenience without increasing cost.

Practical Drills and Practice Routines

Practice makes predictable calling. Spend short sessions working the doublereed squeal until you can produce clean notes at various volumes. Train with scenarios: simulate birds at 50, 100, and 200 yards by dialing up intensity and then trimming back to quieter, nearby feeding notes. Keep sessions short and focused — quality reps are better than long, unfocused practice periods.
