WGE have gone down hill
This is my second game ear. I purchased the original walker ear about 15 years ago and it just died. It was very loud but had a rolling volume/on off knob that you could adjust to just right. I was very happy with it. This one has to be at maximum volume to realize any benefit at all. I'd say it's useable at best. Wish they still made the original. It rocked. This one,not so much. I'll be turkey hunting next week and will update if I feel any different, but I don't expect to. UPDATE: Jus got back from Turkey hunt. This thing was TERRIBLE! It picked up high pitch sounds like small birds ok, although not much volume. Lower pitches like turkey gobbles, no way. I heard them better without it. Also, using a slate or box call was impossible without removing it from ear first. After a few strokes, I got a piercing and painful high pitched squeal in my ear no matter what the volume was set at. About 3 seconds after I stopped calling, it went away. So, remove earpiece, use box call, put earpiece in. That got old real quick. Oh and the volume button. Every time you touch it, you get an annoying loud tone, to tell you, you just used the volume button, right. All in all I'd say this doesn't hold a candle to Walkers original product, and for me is simply annoying and painful to use, junk. Walker, you have gone way down hill. I expected this to at least be usable at $130.00.
