Every year heading out west I stop in the Cabelas in Mitchell, SD. It's been so long I can remember when they broke ground for that location and how wonderful it was to stop there. We all know those days are gone.
As I cruise the aisles for a bargain I see some nimrod pushing a shopping cart filled with new clothes, boots and ammo. I glance down at the ammo selection he has and I swear to you I've seen on more than one occaision he has 12 ga., 1 3/8oz loads of #4 lead in 3 inch magnum. I act like this is mky first hunt out there and look him straight in the eye and ask him "just how big are the pheasants out here"? He will mumble something to the effect of how tough these wild birds are. Most of these dudes are hunting stocked birds but don't know it.
Yes, anything over 1200fps is ridiculous but it sells ammo.
