The Haydel's Raccoon Squaller (RS-85) is the industry standard for hunters seeking to engage raccoons in their natural environment. Specifically tuned to mimic the intense, aggressive "squall" and fighting sounds of raccoons, this call is incredibly effective at provoking a response.

Haydel's RS-85 Raccoon Squaller FAQ
Give a few loud, aggressive squalls. Raccoons are very territorial, and a dominant male will often squall back or move to investigate, revealing his location in the trees or brush.
Yes. Raccoons are a common prey item for coyotes and bobcats. The RS-85 is an excellent "change-up" call when predators have become educated to standard rabbit-in-distress sounds.
Yes. The open-reed system is very intuitive. By varying the intensity of your exhalation, you can easily produce a range of aggressive sounds, making it great for both beginners and pros.
Keep the call clean and dry. Since it is often used in damp conditions, ensure you air-dry it completely after your hunt to prevent any moisture from degrading the internal reed.
