Do you reload?
If you do, then dropping down to a minium load with a medium weight bullet will also help (75-90gr).
Problem with putting in ear plugs is time and you want to be able to hear the deer moving around.
I don't know anyone who has used those electronic ear plug sound amplifiers and blockers but if you have ruied out a suppressor then maybe they are your best option.
Ok, buy another rifle, little single shot in 35 Cal and fit a short can, or just run low power loads saving a couple of full power loads for when you have time and need to take a longer shot.
