How about ear protection from the gun blast? Or do real men not need that?
I'm sorry, what was that you said?
Actually, since I hunt with my children and I don't trust the totally depraved monsters not to shoot me. I need to be able to hear them and they me. Ear plugs or muffs won't work. There is some high end electronic protection, but it's out of my price range. As it is, we only occasionally ring each others ears.

Good luck dad! Drop a couple for me!
P.S. What is this occasional junk? "Occasionally ring each others ears?"
HA! I'm still ringing!
Don't blame me for all the rock concerts you go to. Spend your time studying and you won't have that problem.
It was crazy today. I decided to check the boat lights when I came home at lunch. They didn't work. YIKES! I replaced the worn out connectors at the battery but they still didn't work. I checked the fuse and it was fine. But, just for giggles, I swapped it out and things worked. Whew...
Hurry home boy. The ducks need killing and Dave and Jim just aren't quite there yet.
We're getting up at 2AM to beat the mad rush at the Hwy 50 boat ramp. It's supposed to be low 40s overnight. The river has dropped 6 inches since we scouted last week. This will either be cold and miserable or cold and awesome.
Check Google Earth. We're heading south from 50 and hunting just north of Halfway Lake. We thought we saw a true black duck last week.
