Re: hunting with ear plugs
In the past I did not wear hearing protection while big game hunting, but I am going to start this season. Especially now that I’m moving away from road hunting towards more spot and stalk/ hiking.
I got a pair of electronic earmuffs last summer and wore them while duck hunting this past season. I found that I could hear the waterfowl as well with them on as I could without (if not, slightly better).
I’ve a nearly constant mild ringing in both of my ears and I’m only 26.
Quite frankly, I don’t know if I have the discipline of the chap in the post about his first blacktail, but I’d like to get there.
Hearing is precious, and there are options to protect it while still enjoying hunting.
If it cant be done with one shot, it shouldn't be done.
