I am only shooting what I have more than enough ammo for. I am so glad I stacked deep when I could. I think many saw this coming and others had their head in the sand.
Some of the average hunters are so out of the loop they are shocked when they couldn't just get some ammo close to hunting season. I am thinking 2023 is shaping up to be even worse.
Agree Joe, lots of people feeling the pinch its expensive to go hunt unless you can hunt close to home.
Yes and it must be at least 5 years even here we have been saying this is coming and far from over
I know my two old buds would have been using sticks this year if not for my stash and I am talking what I would class as simple stuff like 20ga ammo and steel 12ga in 3"
The problem is 99% of my stash is not factory but reloads and not giving those away since some prick here would report it IMO Like I told one after flower season you are spending a few days in the basement here with me and going to load some steel for next year that way it is legal since the well is getting dry on factory 3" stuff I have maybe 8 boxes of factory 3 1/2 left but his gun is only 3"
Agree 2023 will be worse If one told me years ago there would be no 303 or 30/30 ammo to buy I would have thought they were crazy but not today
The problem I am seeing is the hunting close to home is putting pressure on those that never left in what they think are spots they owned since they had them to themselves for over 40 years in many cases and now hearing about the bastard that are killing their deer
Not pretty and only going to get worse IMO
