walkers game ear
 

Has anyone ever used a walkers game ear for hunting? There is anoyher one called woodland whisper by Basspro shops...alot les $$ My hearing isnt what it used to be and am tired of not hearing the bulls bugle as far away as my hunting partner can hear. Thank you

Yup, I got a pair of em about 1 1/2 years ago. They don't work as well as some might think. Maybe that's because I have a 40% hearing loss to overcome before I get the effect of them. Seriously, I used them in Illinois last year and was amazed at what I could hear. Of course I was stand hunting so I had them cranked up till they almost whislted but, man, did they keep me on my toes. I could finally hear things that I don't think I ever heard before.
They have their drawbacks. They're similar to behind the ear hearing aids so they don't fit snug like in the ear types. If you get them I would recommend getting custom ear molds to fit them. Not having much experience with other brands I would highly recommend them tho. It's worth it to be able to hear game now long before I can see them, or they see me. I know this much. They are much better for hunting than this pair of $3000 hearing aids I always wear.

I had one, and I sold it, or guess I gave it away. But I won't have one again. For me, and using just the one, I could here sounds that I normally couldn't hear, but our hearing is supposed to work in stereo, so with one "bionic ear" I couldn't tell what way the sound was coming from. And if there is a breeze blowing, it sounds like wind, and if the leaves are blwoing in the breeze "wind" they sound like your in the middle of a typhoon. So, at least for me, I'd rather just be alert at all times, and live with the fact that I may not hear the game before I see it. Oh, and them darn foxtail squirrels scurrying in the leaves will get ya on your toes more often than not. I can see, that maybe with bad hearing and trying two of them may help some, but they aren't for me!

Thanks guys...I bought one off ebay and will see if its any good...since I only paid $8.00 I can afford to chuck it if it isnt for me...Whtelk

$8.00? You can't be serious. You want to get rid of it I'll give $10 for it. By the way, I got the Game Ear II. Frequency adjustable.
You got to have two though if you want the best effect. Tekking direction is a booger with only one.

I tried the woodland whisper and it amplifies everything but I can't tell exactly where the sounds are coming from. I hear a lot of wind, I'll try it this archery season. Can't hurt.
