Haydel's D90 Dove Call FAQ
The mourning dove coo is typically a five-note pattern: a low note, a high note, and three medium-to-low notes. Using gentle, steady breath pressure and your tongue to break the airflow, you can easily replicate this classic pattern.
Calling is most effective when birds are actively moving, particularly in the morning or late afternoon as they travel between feeding and watering sites.
Absolutely. Combining the D90 with a small spread of decoys significantly increases your success, as the sound helps confirm to passing birds that your decoy location is a safe, occupied spot.
Yes. Simply keep it clean and dry. If it gets dirty, a quick rinse with warm water and thorough air-drying is all that is needed to keep it performing like new.
