Abstract
A game call is disclosed which includes a bell, a sound generator in communication with the bell, a bellows in communication with the sound generator, and a cap removably attached to the bell to substantially prevent the game call from sounding while the cap is attached to the bell and to prevent debris from entering the game call. To facilitate attachment of the cap to the bell, a groove is formed on the cap interior surface, the groove being sized to interlock with a lip formed on the bell exterior surface to provide a secure interlocking relationship between the cap and the bell. A cap tether which effectively couples the call to the game call is provided to prevent the cap from being lost or misplaced while not attached to the bell.
