Way to go. Glad we don't have the antler restrictions it's just "any antlered"
Does your gun have a muzzle brake? Having to put ear protection in before shooting can be very problematic sometimes! Hunting elk solo is not a lot of fun once you pull the trigger too!
We do have some any bull OTC units, but where I like to hunt is a spike only.
My gun does have a brake on it. I know not everyone is a fan, but after having one I really like it. I just carry the plugs with the plastic around my neck and it takes all but two seconds to slip them in.
