The Haydel's Government Hunter Jackrabbit (GHJ) is a rugged, high-performance call designed for hunters who demand professional-grade reliability. Drawing on the proven performance of the Government Hunter series, the GHJ is specifically tuned to reproduce the deep-toned, high-volume distress screams of a large jackrabbit. This is the "big-game" distress call of the predator world—engineered to reach out over massive distances to grab the attention of wary coyotes, bobcats, and mountain lions.
Built for the rigors of the field, the GHJ features an open-reed system that is as intuitive as it is powerful. It allows for quick, aggressive calling sequences that mimic a large prey animal in dire trouble, a sound that triggers the competitive and predatory instincts of even the most cautious alpha predators. Whether you are hunting the vast plains of the West or the dense brush of the South, the GHJ provides the acoustic authority needed to bring predators to your feet.
Why It Outperforms the Competition:
- Professional-Grade Sound Profile: Specifically tuned for the louder, deeper distress cries of a jackrabbit, which are often more effective on mature coyotes than smaller rabbit calls.
- Extreme Distance Projection: Engineered for maximum decibel output, ensuring your distress sequence cuts through wind and covers vast territory.
- Effortless Modulation: The open-reed system provides immediate, precise control over your sound, letting you transition from a frantic scream to a soft, dying whine with ease.
- "Hard-Use" Durability: Constructed to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and high-frequency use, making it a reliable tool for season-long predator control.

Haydel's GHJ Government Hunter Jackrabbit FAQ
Jackrabbit calls produce a deeper, louder, and more aggressive distress sound. They are often more effective on larger, more dominant predators that have become wary of standard, high-pitched distress sounds.
Use a long, drawn-out, and rhythmic distress sequence. Mountain lions are often attracted to the sound of large prey, so maintaining a steady, realistic cadence is key to luring them in.
Yes. Because the GHJ is designed to produce a louder, deeper sound, it is far more effective at carrying through windy conditions than lighter, higher-pitched calls.
Not at all. While it is used by professionals, the design is highly intuitive. You can produce realistic distress screams with minimal practice, making it excellent for hunters at any skill level.
