For deer hunters 1 box should get you through the season. Bird hunters, especially duck.....you’re probably boned if you don’t already have a stockpile.

There is no shortage, it's just all been relocated from the store shelves to the classifieds here and marked up to accommodate the convenience factor of buying it here instead of one of those evil big box stores that make you wear a mask.

A lot of it done by big box store employees.

Ever wonder how many are here on ODT sailing ammo? I bet it's more than 2 or 3.

Hunting calibre are the only calibre's that I don't regularly see on the shelves, I assumed that they were going to up production of those in the fall. Or it may be store dependent I guess. I do see more hunting rounds available at places like Cabela's etc. Any load out of the ordinary, you still have to go on line and find.

I have over 300 rounds quality hunting ammo for each and every caliber deer rifle I own.
At my age that will outlast me.

I hear ya, I shoot maybe one deer a year (all I need) most years, I can go over a decade on one box of 30-30
