My left ear is screaming as I type this. 10 OCT 2020 was opening day of duck here. We had 3 in a boat with me in the stern. Fields of fire were established before shooting hours. Sure enough, a woody came from the stern heading away from us. As I pulled up at the 4 to 5 o'clock position, the guy in the middle fires. Fugg!! I see the muzzle flash out of the corner of my eye. The blast actually hurt in my ear. Haven't heard schitt in that ear since except this damned ringing. I figured it would go away. Same thing happened 25 years ago when my brother kept slapping the trigger of his 284 at a running doe. Four rounds from 3 feet away, forward of the muzzle. That took about 8 weeks to subside. It's been damn near 6 months since this last episode. I think I'm screwed.
yup. one time too many like me.
