Haydel's RF-03 Dirty Rice Mallard Call

The Haydel's RF-03 Dirty Rice Mallard Call is a specialized double-reed duck call engineered for waterfowl hunters targeting feeding mallards in rice field environments. This Cajun Squeal-style call reproduces the authentic vocalizations of mallards actively feeding on rice, making it an essential tool for serious waterfowl enthusiasts. The compact, portable design—measuring 5 x 1.6 x 7.2 inches—fits easily into a hunting pack or vest pocket, allowing hunters to carry it into any duck blind or marsh setup without additional bulk.

Haydel's RF-03 features optimized barrel construction specifically designed to reduce the physical effort required to produce the distinctive squeal sound characteristic of this call type. The double-reed mechanism provides reliable acoustic response across a range of hand pressures and embouchure techniques, accommodating both experienced callers and those developing their skills. The engineering of the barrels enables consistent, clear squeals without requiring excessive air force, which means hunters can execute calling sequences naturally throughout the day without fatigue. This precision construction ensures the RF-03 delivers authentic mallard feeding vocalizations that trigger responsive behavior from passing flocks.

The Haydel's RF-03 Dirty Rice Mallard Call benefits hunters working freshwater rice paddies, coastal marsh systems, and inland waterfowl areas where mallards congregate to feed. It pairs effectively with traditional mallard drake and hen calls as part of a complete calling arsenal, allowing hunters to layer vocalizations and create more convincing flock scenarios. Lightweight at just 0.15 lbs, the RF-03 integrates seamlessly into any duck hunting loadout, whether used from a stationary blind, mobile layout boat, or wading situation. Both novice and experienced waterfowl callers appreciate the responsive, user-friendly design that consistently produces the feeding squeals that attract hungry mallards during critical hunting windows.
