game call

Mimics animal sounds

A game call is a device hunters use to mimic animal sounds and attract prey.

Calls exist for most hunted species—duck calls, turkey calls, elk bugles, predator calls that imitate wounded rabbits.

Some are mouth-blown instruments; others are electronic.

The skill of using calls effectively is part of hunting tradition: He could work a duck call better than anyone in the blind.
