Checking the big duck hunting stores and can't find a case of shells to send out West. Has everybody secured theirs for their OOS trips already?

Yes. I left shells and money at 2 different Friends places out there last year in anticipation that they would be hard to find. My buddies out there added to the stash thankfully and we are good to go.
I might have to walk into Walmart. Nephew sent pic of some Winchesters on shelf, 2 box limit though.

Walmart in Orangeburg had all the 3” #4 Winchester’s you could stand, no limit.
Local wally store had Winchester 3", #3 and #4 steel. 1500 fps on the shelf. I grabbed what my son needed and rolled to self checkout.
I'm afraid if we think it's bad this year, next year will be much worse.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

Yeah there's no steel shot anywhere. You can check local places, but as far as being able to order cases online, it's almost impossible to find 12ga anywhere. 20ga is even worst.

They had these 2 months ago. I should have told him to grab all he could.IMG_20211011_163624.jpg

I like #3 so I may check Orangeburg! Let's go Brandon!

Out of curiosity, when was the last time anyone had DNR check to see if you were actually shooting steel?
eta: with a magnet not just a visual check.

Saw some Rio #2 at Lake Murray Hardware.
I think they had 20ga also.
I thought Sheels might have some but they out too. They have a house Fiocci shell I really like.

I got lucky on a recent trip to Wisconsin for a kayak tournament. Stopped at Scheel's in Omaha, Nebraska and picked up five cases of Kent 3" #3s. I can't legally buy ammo here in Comifornia but there is a local shop over in Colusa that always seem to have the good stuff in stock. The trick seems to be finding the places that don't do mail ordering.
Living in Moncks Corner but looking forward to moving back to the West Coast in 2020 where there are more ducks and less duck hunters!! LOL
Leaving Tuesday for ND. My farmer buddy found a case for us last night but said slim Pickens..
