Effective small-game calling is about timing, tone, and credibility. Whether you’re on a late-afternoon stand or glassing a hardwood ridge, a reliable call that reproduces authentic squirrel noises can trigger investigation and movement. HAYDELS SMALL GAME delivers distinct voices you can shape to the situation, making it a practical tool for hunters and field technicians.

HAYDELS SMALL GAME emits the bark or chatter of the Bushytail. Blowing moderately into the exhaust barrel gives the cry of Grey Squirrels. Blowing 5 panicky notes creates the high pitched cries of a baby in distress. These specific, repeatable sounds let you switch from casual chattering to urgent distress within seconds.

Design and sound profile

Built by Haydels and listed under Game Calls, this compact piece (model Various) is tuned for realism. The exhaust barrel design responds to breath pressure, so moderate blows produce the Grey Squirrel cry while a focused series of five sharp blasts creates a panicked, high-pitched juvenile distress call. At $19.99, it’s an economical addition to any calling kit.

Why the tonal options matter

Bushytail barks create a confident presence, useful for drawing curious adults from cover. The Grey Squirrel cry—softer and rolled—works to mimic routine communication. The five-note panicky sequence interrupts normal behavior and often triggers investigative movement. Learning to vary cadence and interval is the core skill when using this call.

Techniques and field application

Use the bark/chatter sequence to establish presence from a distance, then soften to Grey Squirrel cries as you close. Reserve the five-note panic burst for when you want an immediate, investigative response. Practice at home to calibrate breath control: consistent moderate pressure versus short, sharp bursts will deliver reliable, repeatable results.
