Problem with putting in ear plugs is time and you want to be able to hear the deer moving around.
I don't know anyone who has used those electronic ear plug sound amplifiers and blockers but if you have ruied out a suppressor then maybe they are your best option.

Ok, buy another rifle, little single shot in 35 Cal and fit a short can, or just run low power loads saving a couple of full power loads for when you have time and need to take a longer shot.

That’s Interesting - Does a reduced load and smaller projectile reduce the shot volume that significantly!?
Quite keen to get into reloading, but have been hesitant as sounds like the LR primers and some other components seeming so hard to get atm?
