Ear protection is a must while on stand I will not squeeze without them.
You could probably get by with the .44, but it would be insane to shoot the 454 Casull or the S&W 500 without ear protection.
I hunted the IL opener last year with just me and my 629. I passed up on a nice 2 1/2 year old buck. My goal this year is to connect on a mature buck with one of my hand cannons.
