let's compare.

you can go out a buy $1000 sitka waders
$500-600 Sitka coat
$200 wading pants
$100-200 in shirts.
$1500 for a 3B gun
$9000-15,000 side x side
$20K+ boat
$1500-5000 and more for a lease.

Why would $60 for a box of shells bother you?

When there’s no birds to shoot at it doesn’t matter how expensive it is. At least on my lease anyway lol

How can anyone justify spending $80,000 on a pickup truck?

The ammo is $45 FOR A BOX OF TEN. A normal box of ammo has 25. Each time you pull the trigger on some Apex, you are shooting a $5 bill out the barrel.

This equates to paying $112.50 for a box of ammo! That is stupid...period. It’s about 500% higher than the norm.

To put it in perspective, a 50 BMG is cheaper to shoot.

Shooting divers on big water is the only time I spend extra $ on duck shells. You can kill them in a small hole with cheapshit ammo. Knocking them down on big water isn’t hard. Killing them b4 they dive underwater is why. They’ll land 50+ yards away and cheap shells will just bounce off of them.

Get'em in close. Shoot good, and profit from cheaper ammo and less shots. They all kill ducks.

Tax write off. If you're incorporated and can justify it. Could get it for a less expensive trunk too, but dammit...I want a dirty arse, fricked up F250 platinum to ride around in.

And I pull some heavy shite....but I get stuck a lot in that heavy fricker too.

Lots of people love be dumb asses. It’s not the cost of the ammo, it’s the person using it. I’ll kill all I want with Estate or Monarch shells. If it pleases you being a “look at me douch” who am I to stop you???
