Do you use hearing protection when hunting deer, elk, moose, etc.?

Title says it all. Sorry about the fat fingered characters. I can't go back and edit them out.

I use hearing protection any other time I use a gun, but not when I'm hunting.
If only there was a way to make guns quieter without the world falling into anarchy...

I'm with you there! Europeans can hunt with suppressors, and the prices of them are considerably lower than what they are here.

Why would you want to wear ear plugs while hunting ?
How would you be able to hear any thing when you stop and listen and look around . You also would not be able to hear if you are walking on a load surface or be able to hear your hunting partner whisper something to you .The list goes on and on why you should not .

Not while hunting big game. I do wear active electronic earbuds when shooting coyotes and such where I expect more frequent shots, when I remember them that is.

When I hunted I never used hearing protection. I would at a range when sighting in.

When pulling the trigger on game I hardly recalled the boom, nor the recoil of the 7MM Mag. I was in a zone.
