PRDATR Report post Posted August 19, 2023 Yeah it's crazy how much they went up in price. I bought 5 cases a few years ago when Walmart had them on clearance for $2 a box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted August 19, 2023 Just now, My Rights As An American said: Wish I would have seen that deal! Never again in our lifetimes! Tell me about it. Shells were $2.99 a box for decades when I moved here from Maine in the mid 70's. Anyone remember Active all plastic shells? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Rights As An American Report post Posted August 19, 2023 I remember about 15 years ago getting waterfowl shells on clearance for $5/ box. Now the dove loads cost twice as much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted August 22, 2023 I totally forgot about Popular Outdoors. Yeah they always had some good deals. and yes on the activ shells too…I remember the first time I think it was my brother that had some. They looked so cheaply made I was afraid they’d misfire or jam. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarr Report post Posted August 24, 2023 In the early 1970s my family's dove hunt ritual consisted of buying shells from our local "Yellowfront" store on the Sunday before opening day... Dad would buy case's of 20 and 12ga Remington/Peters brand shells for $0.97 a box...Those sure were the days.... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arizonian Report post Posted August 27, 2023 Is lead bird shot legal in AZ for dove or migrant bird hunting? I know it's been banned for waterfowl for 25+ years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbow Report post Posted August 27, 2023 And there was Yates army navy surplus that would have pallets of 12 and 20 ga shells for 97 or 99 cents a box. Federal Monarch or Rem Mohawk, usually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
