Starting to see more ammo on the shelves here, but haven't seen any .22's yet.
Several weeks ago I was in the Cabelas in Hamburg, PA. I spotted a bunch of 100-pack CCI 22LRs. I wasn't able to get any. A rather rude group, I'm thinking dad, mom, and two sons over the age of 18, each grabbed two boxes. That was it. No more on the shelf. I said something to the one I assumed was the father. I thought I was going to get assaulted.
People line up at 6:30 AM at our two Walmarts to clean them out every Thursday when they get some. I did get one box of some off-brand at our local Gander Mountain a few weeks back. I'd never heard of the brand before. I just remember it was in a gold box, with black lettering.
I've got enough shells now to sight-in the new 22, plus enough to keep the critters under control for at least a year, maybe more. Most coons and possoms just need one shell. I'm still not taking many squirrels -- only serious pests. It is not worth cleaning the grey squirrels, and I still don't have a big enough herd of fox squirrels to start thinning them -- but every year there are a few more.
