No shortage here....we just shot like 500 .22lr's today at the range. And some 12g and some .223
On the other hand we import ammo from the us...which means in a few weeks prices might go up. A pack of 50 .22lr is about 5.34$. But it's actually gotten cheaper this year. Until now it was about 7.4$ per pack of 50.
And you need special credentials to get .22's because idiots kept shooting large game with it. And instead of having meat on the table, they got pissed off boars, or deer that would just run away and die somewhere you can't find them.
Did i mention we have the largest bear population in europe? You try shooting 22's at a bear...there's actually a joke about it.
How do you hunt a bear? You throw shit in it's face, get close and just shoot it in the head. But where do you get the shit. Trust me, if you get close to a bear, it won't be an issue.

Most definitely, but probably fry them and they will taste like pig skin...

Can i just eat beef curtains? Those would go great with some garlic sauce.
