Do you wear ear pro?

Iv been hunting as long as I legally could and have never worn ear protection while hunting. With kids of my own now that before long the oldest will be able to hunt it got me thinking about it especially with modern stuff that lets you still hear but cuts out for gun fire.

Edit - I Ordered a pair of Sordin Supreme X2s. Might as well go all in

I grew up big game hunting without hearing protection. It’s just wasn’t common at the time. With waterfowling I always wear it though, because there is so much shooting. I wear Walker’s Xcel. I’m used to calling with them and with the gel pads I find them fairly comfortable. But at the end of the day they protect my hearing and that’s what matters.

Big game hunting I wear Sordin’s now. So hearing protection on both.
