Well, I am still messing up on the birds and the biggest reason is that I can not hear good enough any more. This has really cost me alot of birds. Until I got back from Desert Storm I could hear and kill birds. Now, when they are really close I think they are farther away, so I just keep hammering away. When they are really super close in the woods . I figured this out last weekend when I was scouting on Saturday night and videoed some birds 400 meters away, and while still videoing I let out a great cut and finished with a fly up cackle and the strutting gobbler just let out a long gobble but while watching him gobble, I did not hear him. Then the next morning before dawn I set up where they went in and when it started to get daylight I had them gobbling all over. At least 5 and one huge one was sounding off. Well, I had two come in and they just skirted me and fanned and gobbled and again I did not hear it. Now, I truely know that I am getting deaf which is really disturbing. I can not afford hearaid so what am I to do. I can not hear them unless I am right on them. If I have one of my buddies they will say hear that bird, of course not. So I really do not know which one to go to. Steady

I am a disabled veteran. 50% hearing loss in right ear and 35% loss in left. Walkers Game Ear works for me. If you are a veteran of the armed forces....go see your VA officer. They are there to help. I have state of the art hearing aids provided by the VA. They help....but while hunting I wear the Walkers. Good luck.

I'd say try some game ears, I have heard they work well.
