RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO Review

First Thoughts on the RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO

The RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO predator call from RMHC promises to be a game-changer for hunters seeking an edge in attracting elusive predators. At a price point of $25.49, it positions itself as an accessible option for both seasoned professionals and those just starting in the world of predator hunting.

I’ve spent years tracking predators across varied terrains, from the arid deserts of the Southwest to the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest. I needed a compact, reliable call that could produce realistic distress sounds without the bulk and complexity of electronic devices. The promise of stealth and effective parvo imitation piqued my interest, as my experience tells me that realism is the key to success.

Upon receiving the call, I immediately noted its lightweight design and seemingly robust construction. Its compact size suggests easy portability, a crucial factor when covering miles on foot. Compared to bulkier diaphragm calls and battery-dependent electronic callers, the RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO’s simplicity is immediately appealing. I chose it over other mouth calls due to its specialized focus on parvo sounds, and over electronic calls because of its promise of simplicity and silent operation.

My first impression was one of cautious optimism. The size is excellent, and the construction appears adequate, but the true test lies in its ability to produce convincing sounds and withstand repeated use in the field.

Real-World Testing: Putting RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO to the Test

First Use Experience

My initial field test occurred during a coyote hunting trip in the high desert of eastern Oregon. I set up near a known coyote crossing, with sparse vegetation and open sightlines. The conditions were dry and dusty, with a slight breeze blowing across the landscape.

I began using the RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO after about 30 minutes of silence, attempting a series of short, sharp distress calls. The call was easy to manipulate, though achieving the desired tone required a little practice. After roughly fifteen minutes, a coyote responded, appearing from over a ridge approximately 400 yards away.

The coyote approached cautiously, and its attention was clearly focused on the direction of the call. I was able to make the adjustments needed to bring the coyote into shooting range. The RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO performed admirably under pressure, though the dry environment did require me to keep hydrated to avoid the call sticking.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of consistent use, the RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO has held up surprisingly well. The call’s tone remains consistent. I have seen no evidence of degradation in the materials or construction.

Regular cleaning is essential, particularly after use in dusty conditions. Simple rinsing and air drying have been sufficient to maintain its performance. Compared to some of my other mouth calls, the RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO requires minimal maintenance.

The RMHC #436 STEALTH PARVO has exceeded my expectations for a call in this price range. It delivers consistent and realistic sounds and offers a level of durability that instills confidence.
