Abstract
A trapezoidal-shaped game call device with a tapered polypropylene body design and aperture to expel condensate and saliva. The top and bottom members of the body of the device are hinged together by a living hinge on one side and forms a friction grunter that can be rubbed against a hard surface to produce a rutting call on the other side. Rubber bands with a high percentage of rubber by weight are used as elastic reeds to insure consistency, and a silicon O-ring is also used to attach together the unhinged side of the calling device to stabilize the frictional grunter. A lanyard can also be provided on the device for convenient transport.
