Quoted: Sell or trade the upper for the one you want. Once you start cutting, even if you do it right, any resale value goes out the door.
Or, wear the muffs when hog hunting! That brake is handy for the necessary quick followup shots.

Good point on the sell or trade. I forgot that cutting would shoot the resale value in the head.
I am looking into earphones I can wear while hog hunting.
Gonna be tough to find an earmuff to fill the bill. Texas heat is horrible. I will be filling them with sweat. I tromp through some pretty bad mud, briars, brush while hunting so they must be durable.
So far I have not needed earphones the entire time I was hunting. I am probably going to go with the cheaper option of the stiff plastic headpiece with foam earplugs attached. I don't think these will hang up on the briars as badly as the plastic string version.
I have used the old foam plugs on a plastic string a few times, but I left them behind (much to my dismay) on the very last hunt. They tend to get wrapped around limbs, drug off etc.
My right ear is still not completely back to normal after being semi-deafened from 20 rounds of rapid fire, so I gotta be looking at ways to prevent this from happening again.
