The Primos Randy Anderson The Third Degree Xtra Loud Cottontail Distress Call (372) is a high-volume open-reed hand call designed specifically to pull coyotes and foxes from extreme distances. Endorsed by legendary predator hunter Randy Anderson, this call features a beautifully finished, green laminated hardwood barrel that delivers unmatched acoustic projection. It perfectly replicates the raspy, panicked, and high-pitched screams of a cottontail rabbit in deep distress.
Why It Outperforms the Competition:
Unlike standard plastic calls that sound tinny or lose volume over long distances, The Third Degree utilizes a premium dense wood barrel to enhance tone resonance and amplification. This extra-loud construction makes it the ultimate choice for windy days or wide-open plains where sound typically gets buried. The exposed open-reed configuration prevents the moisture freeze and sticking issues commonly found in enclosed reed designs. This gives you complete structural control over the pitch, realism, and emotional urgency of your sequence. By varying your lip and teeth pressure along the reed, you can seamlessly transition from the deep, throaty rasps of a mature rabbit to the piercing, high-frequency shrieks of a juvenile, breaking down the defenses of even the most call-shy predators.

Questions & Answers
Q: Is this call too loud to use for close-range setups or dense cover?
A: While it is explicitly engineered for long-range projection and windy days, you can easily tone down the volume for close-range situations by blowing softer, restricting your airflow, or cupping your hand over the end of the barrel to muffle the sound output.
Q: How do you prevent the reed from sticking due to saliva buildup in freezing weather?
A: Because this is an open-reed call, it inherently resists freezing much better than enclosed calls. If saliva does accumulate during sub-zero hunts, you can quickly clear it by placing your lips completely over the reed and blowing a sharp blast of air backwards through the exhaust horn, or by sliding a dollar bill under the reed to dry it instantly.
