Maybe I should have bought some this summer because I cannot find any 12 gauge #6 shot high brass shotgun shells. Never had a problem before picking up a box or two at Wal Mart or Atwood’s. Not this year, though. I even tried Little Rock Basspro and they had none. Lots of #s 4, 7.5, and 8, but no #6 to be found except for the low brass. I went by Atwood’s this afternoon and bought a $17 box of Fiocchi Golden Pheasant nickel plated #5 shot. It was the last box of those. I was down to my last half box of Herter’s high brass I bought last Christmas, so I had to have em.

Too high for me, but I figure I have one more weekend of squirrel hunting before modern gun season opens for deer. My dad really likes squirrel hunting and he prefers eating them to deer steak because it’s easier on his teeth. . Mine too.

Dad hunts with an old 16 gauge and he leaves empty Federal purple hulls all over the ground......not talking about peas either. . He won a $100 gift card at a Wild Game/Sportsmen’s Dinner a couple of years ago and traded it to a guy who had just won a case of 16 gauge high brass shells that he didn’t have a use for. Dad still has six or seven boxes of those.

Just wondering if anyone else was having trouble finding ammo.
