Calls the squirrel in as long as you use it right

Works amazing. Got 3 squirrels the first day in my backyard without even trying.

I have used a few squirrel calls over the years and this by far is the best I have used.I recieved this one today and played around with it for a while before going outside to see how well it works. I live in a residential area with lots of oak trees so there are plenty of tree rats in the area. I stepped out the front door and saw a squirrel run up a tree about ten feet away from me. I quickly tried to produce a fox squirrel bark that sounded more like a dieing chicken. My fault not the call's. Didn't really matter though because the squirrel reached the first limb and stopped dead in his tracks, looked straight at me, whistled twice and chattered. I was able to duplicate fairly close the sound he made by placing my finger over the end of the call and giving the bellow a couple of slow taps then took my finger off the end of the call and made a chatter sound. He immediately responded with the same sound. We chattered back and forth for a couple of minutes before I went back inside. About ten minutes later I went to the backyard and looked around. I didn't see any squirrels but I used the call and made the same sound as before. Immediately another squirrel in a neighbors yard responded.I have not had a chance to spend the time to see if the call will lure squirrels closer but I can guarantee you if a squirrel is around it will respond to this call.The only issues I had was getting the whistle to sound like the whistle the squirrels were making. I'm sure, with time, I may be able to figure that out. The second is the bellow may be a little too large. It is a little difficult to duplicate the barks and chatters because of the travel of the bellow. Again this might just be something I need time to figure out.

I use this when hunting squirrels, once you master the techniques there are several calls you can make, well built and a lot cheaper than some other professional, branded models.

So, I would have given this thing a one star untill I read a review saying it sounded like a crow untill it was broken in. Mine really sounds like a crow, and really got a single squirrel going. But I have not seen tails going, extra movement in the trees, have not been able to even hear chatting off in the distance in town where I live. I am really wanting to try and break it in like the other review said and give it a higher rating but after 24 hours in the woods after hours of practicing at home getting the sequence down perfectly and not being able to call in or even get hidden squirrels to start chatting I give it a 3 star. The quality is still good and I can see you be able to call in crows maybe. But it is a squirrel call that out of the box sounds like something that eats there babies out of the box. It is very inconvenient that you need to break this call in. I will try to break it in and hope that the tone gets lower to better mimic squirrels tone. But as for now it has not broken, the distress squeak still works, and the bellows still shakes and makes the chatter sound. But as for sound quality for now it sounds like a crow and not a squirrel.

Forget complicated techniques and endless practice. This call nails the art of simplicity. Out pops a series of realistic squirrel sounds – distress cries, chatters, the whole shebang. It's so easy, even your squirrel-hunting-skeptical grandma could master it.This call isn't just user-friendly, it's incredibly portable. It hangs around my neck like a furry (well, not yet) fashion statement. No more lugging around bulky calls that make me look like a walking wind chime store. And let's be honest, looking like a wind chime store isn't exactly conducive to stealthy squirrel stalking.There is a slight learning curve to getting the perfect squeaks, but trust me, it's a fun curve. It's like unlocking a secret squirrel language.Not every squirrel is a sucker for a good call. Some old-timers have seen it all and won't come running like lemmings. But that's part of the thrill, right?
