J.C. Calls Coon Squaller

Yes, like most manual calls, it relies on your breath control and hand placement to modulate the sound. Practice mimicking the specific squall or chatter of a raccoon by varying your air pressure and using your hand to open and close the end of the call.

While raccoons are primarily nocturnal, this call works whenever they are active. It is particularly effective during night hunts, but can also be used during the day if you are targeting raccoons in dens or during their active hours.

The call is built for rugged outdoor use with a simple, solid design that lacks delicate electronic components. It is designed to withstand moisture and cold temperatures that might otherwise cause battery-operated calls to fail.

This call is specifically tuned to mimic raccoon vocalizations. While some predators might be curious about the sound, it is not designed or intended to replicate the distress calls of other species like coyotes or foxes.

It does require one hand to operate, which can be a challenge if you are holding a firearm simultaneously. Many hunters prefer to use it to locate or draw in the animal before getting into a shooting position, or they use it in conjunction with a hands-free mount if available.
