Default RE: Question about hearing enhancement aids

I have a pair of walker's muffs that I got for duck hunting and they work great for that. Tried them a couple times turkey hunting and didn't like them at all for that. Barefoot covered the pros and cons very well. The only thing I might add is while I can tell direction with the muffs(hard for me to do without them due to a bad left ear) I absolutely cannot tell distance. First year I tried them I called to a couple gobblers thinking they were about 100 yards down the ridge only to find out that they were on the next ridge over that my buddy was on

To sum it up: they are extremely handy for duck huntin(I can hear them flying all around before daylight some mornings) and they will end that ringing after a duck hunt. But don't like them for turkey hunting.
