Add versatile predator-calling capability to your field kit with the Haydel’s Game Calls Government Hunter Open Call (GHC). Built from clear acrylic and designed as an open-reed style call, this classic caller is made to produce cottontail and jackrabbit distress sounds—the kind of realistic, attention-grabbing tones commonly used to attract predators. Whether you’re calling coyotes on open ground, working timber edges for bobcat, or setting up near brushy transitions, the Government Hunter Open Call is built for hunters who want adaptable sound control and a compact, easy-to-carry design.
If you’re searching for a predator call, a rabbit distress call, a Haydel’s open reed call, or a cottontail/jackrabbit call that attracts predators, the GHC is designed to deliver flexible calling range and familiar open-call control in a durable acrylic body.
Open Call Design: More Control Over Tone, Pitch, and Volume
An open call (often open reed) is popular among predator hunters because it allows you to vary the sound more easily than many fixed-tone calls. With the right airflow and hand technique, an open call can help you create:
Higher or lower pitch distress sounds
Softer coaxing notes or louder calling bursts
Natural breaks and emotion in the call sequence
Sound variation that can help reduce “same-sound” repetition
This flexibility makes the Government Hunter Open Call a strong choice for hunters who like to adjust their sound based on distance, wind, pressure, and terrain.
Cottontail and Jackrabbit Distress Sounds for Predator Calling
This model is listed to produce cottontail and jackrabbit sounds, two staple distress profiles in predator calling. Rabbit distress is widely used because it creates a convincing “easy meal” signal that can draw in predators from cover or across open country. The ability to mimic different rabbit tones can be useful when:
Calling in regions where rabbits are common prey
Switching sound profiles during a stand
Adapting to predator response (curious, cautious, aggressive)
Adding realism by varying cadence and intensity
Because calling conditions vary by location and season, having a call that can cover multiple rabbit distress styles adds useful versatility to your setup.
Clear Acrylic Construction: Durable, Weather-Ready Feel
The clear acrylic body is designed for durability and consistent performance in the field. Acrylic calls are often chosen for:
A solid feel and rugged build
Consistent sound characteristics in typical outdoor conditions
Easy wipe-down cleaning and maintenance
A clean, classic look that stands out in a gear bag or on a lanyard
Clear acrylic also makes it easy to keep track of the call in low light or when you’re sorting gear quickly at the truck or in a blind.
Built for Predator Hunters Who Want Simple, Proven Gear
The Haydel’s Government Hunter Open Call is a practical addition to predator kits because it’s compact and easy to deploy when it matters. It works well for:
Calling sequences from stands, blinds, or natural cover
Pairing with decoys or motion lures (where legal and appropriate)
Mixing distress calls with pauses and volume changes
Adding variety alongside mouth calls, howlers, or electronic callers
Many hunters like keeping an open call on a lanyard so they can shift quickly between sound types without digging through pockets.

Field Tip for More Realism
When running rabbit distress, many callers use short bursts followed by silence to let predators commit. Vary your volume and cadence based on wind and visibility, and avoid constant calling—especially in pressured areas.
