Well I just did what I was thinking out loud in my original post. I killed four birds with an ear plug in my right ear. I waiting until the birds were just out of sight, and once when he was within sight, then I slid the ear plug in my ear. Worked just fine. I did miss one time because I was too worried about the ear plug and didn’t see the hen beside me, which spooked and spooked the longbeard. I missed him on the run. Wound up killing my limit but still I don’t like missing. It’ll be a learning curve getting used to fooling with an ear plug but all in all it all worked out. And I can still hear out of my right ear 👍🏻
