Pro Ears Electronic Technology Protect Hearing, Enhances Ability to Hear Game

Ear protection is a basic fundamental of firearm safety, yet most hunters routinely shoot with nothing to protect their ears. Maybe they don’t fully understand the risk of permanent damage to hearing each time a gun is fired, or maybe they just don’t believe it could happen to them.

Hearing well is critical to effective hunting. Hunters simply don’t want to wear hearing protection if it diminishes how well they can hear a deer, turkey or other animal approaching. Pro Ears is the solution to protecting your ears while improving a hunter’s ability to hear game.

Pro Ears uses electronic technology to protect hearing while still allowing users to have a normal conservation in the blind or at the range, and Pro Ears even amplifies low decibel sound to give hunters a huge advantage in the field. Pro Ears uses the most advanced and superior technology available in electronic ear and hearing protection for shooting and hunting. This technology allows the competitive shooter and hunter to hear every sound, including conversation, even during high-volume noise spikes. Pro Ears electronic earmuffs achieve a perfect balance between comfort, noise attenuation and purity of sound. Read more

HSUS Pleads, Lies to Florida Gov. to Stop Bear Hunt

A surprise to nobody, the Humane Society of the United States is protesting the state of Florida’s consideration of managing their ever-increasing black bear population. In a June 10 press conference, HSUS mouthpiece Laura Bevan spread false information and called on the governor to interfere with biologist recommendations and to stop any future bear hunt. As is typical HSUS style, you can bet the press-conference circus was just the first step in perverting state and federal systems to advance their radical agenda.

With human-bear encounters, road kill and other issues increasing throughout many regions of Florida, the state’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has proposed a one-week hunting season in October for the bruins.

And, never missing an opportunity to stop hunting under any and all circumstances, HSUS used emotion and grandstanding to get the media’s attention in hopes of appearing relevant in any science-based discussion of hunting. The words they uttered, however, betray any semblance of knowledge on the subject. Read more

NRC approves 2015 U.P. antlerless deer hunting restrictions

The Michigan Natural Resources Commission today decided to eliminate the harvest of antlerless deer during the archery season for hunters using deer or deer combo licenses in the Upper Peninsula.

The restriction, which does not affect the firearm deer season, will be in effect for the 2015-2016 season. The NRC made the decision at its monthly meeting in Monroe, Michigan, in an effort to aid the Upper Peninsula’s struggling deer population, which has declined to a level comparable to the early 1980s following three successive winters with severe conditions.  Read more
