I learned one tough lesson this year.

I shot at a doe this year at the edge of dark that jumped up, and was blind for 1 min due to the flash, and think I did permanent damage to my left ear. It doesn't ring anymore, but feel I lost some hearing. I missed the doe, and she stood 40 yards off looking at me. I woulnd't take another shot for it. Need some good game ears if you are going to hunt with it.
