Core design elements

• Four-reed, double split-V configuration for versatile voice options

Sound, feel, and field use

In the field, the Iriquois Blue call delivers a wide tonal palette that helps you adjust to wind, distance, and the mood of the birds. The double split-V design supports both soft, inviting tones and more assertive calls, letting you respond to a gobbler or lure a hesitant hen. The call’s compact, lightweight construction fits naturally in your mouth, reducing fatigue during long dawn patrols and allowing you to focus on technique and timing rather than gear adjustments.

• Versatile tones for varied hunting scenarios
• Responsive latex diaphragm for quick, accurate playback
• Compact and USA-made for dependable everyday use

For best results, pair the call with proper breathing technique and gentle mouth pressure. With practice, you can develop a natural cadence that mirrors real birds, enabling you to create inviting sounds without resorting to louder, less controllable calls. Regular care—rinsing after use and drying before storage—will help maintain the diaphragm’s responsiveness over time.

Care and longevity

After hunting, rinse the call with clean water to remove residue, shake off excess moisture, and let it air-dry thoroughly before storing. Keep the diaphragm away from extreme heat and direct sunlight to preserve elasticity and performance. With proper maintenance, this call can remain ready for field days across seasons.
