Cut through wind and distance with a diaphragm that blends power, control, and realism. The Johnny Stewart Wildlife Calls Ditch Tiger™ Diaphragm Call uses a responsive red latex reed and a comfortable, field-ready frame to produce convincing predator vocalizations and distress sounds without bulky hand calls. From subtle squeaks and whimpers to loud, raspy distress and excited howls, the Ditch Tiger™ gives you the range to adapt on pressured ground and keep educated predators guessing. Model: HSJSDIA8 • UPC: 042426416539
Red Latex Reed for Range & Rasp: Tuned for fast start-up and strong top-end volume, the red latex delivers clear highs and authentic rasp for believable distress cries and vocalizations.
Hands-Free Advantage: A mouth call keeps your hands on the gun or camera and your movement to a minimum—critical for coyotes, foxes, and cats that hang up at the edge of cover.
Wind-Cutting Volume: The Ditch Tiger™ gets loud when you need to reach across open country, yet it also backs down to soft squeaks and whines for close-range finishing.
Comfortable, Consistent Fit: A quality frame and durable tape help create a dependable seal against your palate, preserving air pressure and tone in cold or damp conditions.
Field Tough: Built to shrug off moisture and temperature swings—no brittle reeds or squeal-prone plastics.
Predator Vocalizations: Lone howls, interrogation howls, submissive whines (pair bonding, breeding-season setups).
Distress Library: Raspy rodent, bird distress, rabbit distress, pain cries with realistic breaks and urgency.
Close-Range Finishers: Pup distress, mouse squeaks, and pleading whimpers to coax cautious coyotes or foxes those final yards.
Type: Diaphragm/mouth predator call
Reed Material: Red latex (responsive, strong top-end)
Operation: Hands-free, airflow and tongue-pressure controlled
Use Case: Day or night stands, open prairies, timber edges, cropped fields, and brushy draws
Identifiers: HSJSDIA8 (model) • 042426416539 (UPC)
Seat the Call: Latex facing your tongue; tape edges seal to your palate.
Find Your Air: Start with light air for squeaks/whines; add tongue pressure for louder distress or howls.
Cadence & Emotion: Predators key on rhythm and urgency—short, frantic runs followed by pauses feel authentic.
Elevate, Then Taper: Begin with medium volume; build to a 20–30 second crescendo of distress; taper to whimpers to suggest fatigue.
Finish Quietly: When eyes appear, reduce volume and shorten notes—less is more inside 150 yards.
Pro Tip: Work crosswind setups so circling predators drift into your lane, not downwind. Rotate to a soft pup distress on hung-up coyotes to flip curiosity into commitment.
Cold Start: 2–3 interrogation howls; wait 1–2 minutes; shift to raspy rabbit or bird distress.
Pressured Dogs: Skip the howls. Lead with mouse squeaks and light whimpers; extend pauses to avoid overcalling.
Night Hunts: Use controlled, higher-pitch sequences that carry without blasting close targets.
Rinse & Dry: After the stand, rinse with cool water; shake and air-dry to preserve latex tension.
Storage: Keep in a vented case out of heat/sun; avoid crushing the reed.
Rotate Calls: Carry a backup; swap to a dry diaphragm mid-stand if notes lose crispness.
Off-Season: Store cool and dark to extend reed life.
Predator Hunters (Beginner to Expert): Easy path to believable sounds with enough ceiling to master advanced cadences.
Public-Land & Heavily Pressured Areas: Hands-free realism with versatile tone to sound different from the crowd.
Day & Night Crews: Reliable volume control for big fields, fence lines, pivots, and hedgerows.
Know and follow local regulations for predator seasons and night-hunting rules.
Confirm your target and backdrop before calling animals into range.
Respect property boundaries and other hunters’ setups.
