A dedicated raccoon squaller that makes them move
Raccoons can lock down tight in thick cover, hollows, or canopy tangles—especially after pressure. The RS85 is built for the moment when you’ve got a raccoon nearby but can’t get it to show itself. Haydel’s describes it plainly: the call produces the distress cry of the raccoon, and those cries can cause the raccoon to move from hiding, allowing the hunter to shine his eyes. Haydel's Game Calls
That “make them move” purpose is why the RS-85 has stayed a staple for:
Night hunters scanning with lights
Hunters working den trees and creek bottoms
Anyone trying to pull a raccoon into a visible lane for a clean shot
Open call design for loud, realistic emotion
The RS85 is an open call, which gives you the ability to add urgency and realism with simple changes in air pressure and cadence. Open calls are popular because they can sound more “alive” than single-tone calls—letting you create short, punchy squeals or longer, more frantic sequences that mimic distressed vocalizations.
You don’t need to be a contest caller, either. The RS-85 is commonly described as easy to use, and with a little practice you can produce convincing distress notes that get results. TLO Outdoors
Clear acrylic body: tough, consistent, and field-ready
Built with a clear acrylic body, the RS85 is designed to handle real hunting use—cold nights, wet pockets, and constant handling. Acrylic calls are valued for durability and consistency, and the clear construction makes it easy to keep clean and visually inspect. TLO Outdoors+1
Field-proven technique tips for better results
Haydel’s-oriented product guidance often recommends running the RS-85 in short notes, adding realism by “working” the environment—like rustling brush—to simulate a disturbance and trigger curiosity or aggression. One retailer even suggests blowing short notes while beating on brush with a stick or limb to help sell the illusion and get a raccoon to break cover. Safford Trading Company
