On a prairie dog hunt what type of ear protection do you use? If you're calling predators do you even use ear protection?

Thank you.

While predator hunting I do not wear hearing protection. I am not going to be firing that many shots and I want to be able to hear well.

When shooting smaller varmints like ground squirrels or prairie dogs I wear protection. When roaming the hills here in CA to shoot ground squirrels I wear foam ear plugs, they are cheap, disposable, and work well.

When shooting prairie dogs I often wear the foam plugs AND a set of ear muffs as well. You can do lots of shooting in a day out there and you need all the protection you can get. I wear the type of muffs that have the wires behind your head, not over the top. That is so I can wear a wide brimmed hat while out on the prairie.

Like R Flowers if I'm roaming around shooting ground squirrels I wear the foam plugs. If I find a high concentration of squirrels I'll set up the portable bench and put the muffs over the plugs. I think that I'm going to buy a set of the electronic earmuffs to use for this and for coyote set ups.

I shoot pds with my son so it is important to me to not only have hearing protection but to be able to hear him if needed.
I use attenuating protection....Peltor Tactical Pros.
For coyote hunting I could only wish to have enough shots in a single day to warrant having ear protection.

peltor electronics - muffles the shot, but with my hearing i can turn up the volume. I need all the help i can get (ok so I just opened another door )
