Yes. I have to these days. I mainly use my 20 year walkers game ear to help early in the Am and hearing long way gobbles. Once I get them pinpointed somewhat I put it back in my vest. I carry extra batteries cause they will die or get switched on on accidentally.

Been using Walkers game ears for many years. Not the aids but the head phone type...quad muffs. I wouldn't go into the woods without them. Usually take them off when I'm close enough to work the gobbler.

I use the Pro Ears gold. I believe mine are the predator series. Sometimes you can find them cheaper than 299, and I think I did. Yes, they are more expensive than some of the others mentioned, but I tried some of the others and though these were better. Also, you get a five year warranty.
As with all of these things, two issues (1) windy days, and (2) distance detection. Generally, I use them to locate gobblers and then take them off when I set up. Sometimes, I leave them on just to see if I can hear him coming.

you can hear a bird gobble across three property lines....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

So are walkers the cheapest way to go to start out? You need two or will one suffice?

So are walkers the cheapest way to go to start out? You need two or will one suffice? I had to get two, as I couldn't determine direction accurately with just one. I use mine even after getting close to a working a bird, as to protect my ears when I shoot. I just turn them down lower when I get closer to the bird. I can't afford to shoot without some sort of hearing protection, as the damage is already bad enough. God Bless, David B.
