I'm thinking that this year will likely be the year I start hunting with electronic earplugs. I'm 40 now, and I noticed my ears rang a couple times last season when I was hunting from a blind, and this was shooting barrels 20-23". With hogs, deer, coyotes and such, I may shoot 20-25 rounds in the field each fall and it's likely a good move to do some prevention on further hearing loss going forward.
