I first thought I needed to go and buy turkey loads.

Headed out this weekend to “guide” a friend to his first wild bird. I realized with fuel prices, I may as well buy a hunting license in case a second bird shows up. I needed shells! My friend bought some already. $11.00 each shell!!! $55 per box.

I pull out my shotgun and found these! Eureka! I’m good to go. Then I noted the price 4 years ago. Wooooowwww! That’s like 325% price hike. (Please don’t check my math)

$11 per SHELL?! You can buy a turkey for less

That’s like saying, “race car? You can ride the bus for a dollar”

$11 per shell, so only 5 shells per box ($55)?

It sounds like you'd be better off hunting with almost any other kind of gun.

Remmy 4x6 3" mags baby!! I have three boxes I bought probably 10 years ago. Run these suckers through an undertaker choke and it's game over for the turkey.

Just need a stick (or better, a golf club) at my home in NC. Just walk out on the driveway and tee up.

Had a black bear on the front porch this week. Guess hibernation is over. You need an axe or a baseball bat for a bear.

I usually don't much car for W Farrel's comedy. I really don't ever need to see him running around in his not-so-tighty-whities which somehow seems to come up in every movie he does.

If I want a turkey, I could let the dog off the leash pretty much any morning and have one pretty quick.

Shotgun shells for $11 each, zoinks
