The Haydel's TAC-18 "Triple Assault" Predator Call is a powerhouse of versatility, designed for the hunter who needs multiple prey options at their fingertips without juggling several calls. This innovative unit packs three distinct, built-in calls into a single, compact housing: a high-frequency mouse squeaker, a classic cottontail distress, and a deep-toned jackrabbit scream. The TAC-18 allows you to switch instantly to the sound that will trigger the best response from local predators, whether they are focused on small rodents or larger prey.
Engineered for the serious predator hunter, the TAC-18 produces high-volume, realistic sounds that cut through wind and distance. Its ergonomic design is optimized for quick changes between the three integrated sounds, giving you the control to mimic a variety of prey animals or create a diverse "distress chorus" that coyotes, foxes, and bobcats find impossible to resist. Built with Haydel's commitment to durability, the TAC-18 remains a dependable, go-to tool even in the harshest hunting conditions.
Why It Outperforms the Competition:
- 3-in-1 Versatility: Features three independent, built-in calls—Mouse Squeaker, Cottontail, and Jackrabbit—allowing you to instantly "match the hatch" of your local prey species.

- Precision Sound Selection: The ability to rotate through three distinct distress tones is perfect for challenging predators that have grown wary of standard, single-tone calls.

Haydel's TAC-18 Triple Assault Call FAQ
The TAC-18 houses three independent call systems in one unit. You simply move between the three calling techniques to access the mouse squeaker, cottontail distress, or open reed jackrabbit scream, giving you incredible variety in a single, compact call.
The mouse squeaker is perfect for close-range calling or when predators are hesitant. Its subtle, high-pitched sound is highly effective at enticing curious foxes and coyotes that are already in the vicinity but are refusing to commit to louder, more aggressive calls.
Not at all. Each of the three integrated calls is built on Haydel’s proven, easy-to-blow open-reed design. It is highly intuitive and perfect for hunters of all skill levels.
Rinse with warm water and a mild, scent-free soap after use, ensuring you flush each of the three chambers. Ensure the unit is completely air-dried before storing to maintain the performance of all internal systems.
