| Last week a good friend was in Sportsman Warehouse and found 8 lbs. of Green Dot for $189.00 and shared 4 lbs. with me. |

| Dayton, WA, so would that be the SW in Lewiston, Tri-Cities or Walla Walla? Sounds like the production may finally be catching up to demand. |

Lucky dog! My new best friend; care to share more?? 
Easy enough to see when made, most every powder jug I have has a date code on it somewhere. |

Dayton is located 70 miles west of Lewiston and 30 miles northeast of Walla Walla.
I think you all are right, things are starting to loosen up a bit. 2 weeks ago at the same retailer I picked up 1000 CB 1075-20, 1000 CB 1078-20, and 500 CB 5034-28HS wads. No 16 ga wads available of course. Our Sportsman Warehouse at the Walla Walla location does not even stock 16 ga. shells.
The code date was 5-19. Where it has been and why it showed up now is beyond me.
It sounds to me like Michigan DUCKS really like Green Dot. |

| I was able to pick up 5- 1 lb container of fresh green dot (4/27/21 manufacture) on powder valley last week for about $30 shipped per pound, not a steal like the original poster but not to far off from what I pay locally when available. |

fun stuff...yep, Geese & Ducks around here love GD, if that's in the gun it's usually pointed at clay pigeons, birdies or bunnies. They're not overly fond of Steel or BlueDot though.
Hope this is an indicator of more things becoming available. |

| I was able to pick up 4 pounds locally this past few weeks. Should keep me set for a bit. |
