Thanks fantail. Like I said, just wanted some support that this does occur and that I'm not going CRAZY! The best way to really try and describe it is to say its like being deaf and trying to hunt turkey. It has its good and bad points.
Good: I believe, if you can hunt like this, you can hunt any condition. Bad: You miss out on communicating with the birds. That's what really got me into the sport in the first place.
