A shortage of shotgun shells nationwide is complicating things for migratory bird hunters in Southwest Alaska, who are eager to get out after a long winter.
There were a few different kinds of shells in stock at Cabela’s in Anchorage earlier this month, but management there said it’s hard to keep shells for long. Maybe about three days, or a week at most. A case of shells can cost between $200 and $300, which does not include up to $100 dollars more in shipping. Cabela’s isn’t filling bush orders.“Right now, I’m stockpiling boxes of shells,” he said. “Because right after these geese we have other birds that come in, like black ducks.
“It’s totally different from shooting and all that,” Berlin said. “And there’s unique ways how to approach [the species] of ducks. When you’re going to corner them and then set out your net, there’s certain ways to do it. And it isn’t easy.” “I’m not really, really worried about it because that type of subsistence harvest is still available if one knows how to do it,” Berlin said.
