Default Embarrassing Ammo price!!

So I have been falling in love with these Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote shotshells, that is until I went to pick up a few boxes today.

I have shot about a hundred rounds or so of these through patterning and dumping some coyotes this winter. My wife works in town, so she had been picking them up at the Gander Mountain, so I had never seen what they cost until I tried to buy some myself today... over $4 per shot... Seriously?

Right then and there I realized how much my wife loves me, because she had never complained about buying them, even though she'd doled out around $400 for the few boxes I'd shot already!

I was honestly embarrassed to have them in my basket. I'll tolerate shooting premium turkey or buckshot loads that run $2 a shot, because I can easily justify that premium RIFLE ammo is worth $2 a shot to me, and we don't shoot that much for turkeys, but when it comes to buckshot for stomping coyotes, boy did I feel foolish...

Well, I guess it's back to all lead 00buckshot for this predator caller!!!
