The Haydel's Variable Tone Deer Grunt (VDG-92) is a staple for every serious deer hunter's vest. Designed to mimic the natural vocalizations of a whitetail buck, this call offers unparalleled versatility. With a simple adjustment of the O-ring on the reed, you can shift the tone from a young buck's light grunt to a mature buck's deep, aggressive challenge, or even a subtle doe bleat. If you are looking to pull a buck out of thick cover or coax one in during the rut, the VDG-92 is the reliable, easy-to-use solution you need.
Constructed from durable, high-impact materials, this call is built to withstand the rigors of the field—from freezing late-season temperatures to the heat of early bow season. Its compact, lightweight design ensures it won't weigh down your gear pack, yet it provides enough volume to carry across open fields and through dense timber. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran of the woods, the Haydel's VDG-92 gives you the control to sound exactly like the deer you are hunting.
Why It Outperforms the Competition:
- Variable Tone Control: Easily miniplate the tone. This call has a hole between the mouth piece hose, allowing different pitches, by covering with your finger, to produce a wide range of vocalizations, including buck grunts, estrus bleats, and fawn distress sounds.
- Natural Sound Profile: Engineered for authentic tonality that avoids the "plastic" sound found in lower-quality deer calls.
- Field-Proven Reliability: Simple, non-complex design ensures the call works every time you need it, regardless of the weather conditions.
- Versatility: A single tool that covers multiple phases of the season, from pre-rut aggressive calling to subtle post-rut communication.
