RE: Ears Are Ringing
About 10 years ago my college roommate took a shot at some Canada geese with his gun barrel about 3 inches from my head. My left ear has rung ever since and continues to worsen every year dispite constant use of ear protection in the field from that point on. The doctors say the damage is permanent and not only is the ringing annoying, it makes understanding people very difficult esp in noisy places.
So, ALWAYS use ear protection. Even if its just cotton balls in your ears. Anything is better than nothing at all.
Any day spent huntin, is better than any day spent workin,,
