    You make it sound like you use hearing protection at the range but not hunting, and using muffs hunting sounds like a prick of an idea.... If you haven't tried electronic earmuffs hunting they are not a silly idea, I really like mine, turn them right up and you hear better than normal, I think they are an advantage. Maybe something to try.

    Yes I only wear muffs at the range or at work. Some people are lucky I guess, I still have excellent hearing despite firing a lot of rounds when hunting from rifles without a suppressor or wearing earmuffs. And not to mention 3 years in the TF artillery, where we also didn't wear ear protection except on rare occasions.

    I loath suppressors on a fine hunting rifle, but then I don't regard myself as a follower of fashion in any endeavour . . . . so am not bound by the current fad (just for the record I do have suppressors on a couple of 22's and a 300 BLK and ran one on an FTR class rifle for a while).
