It's that time of year again to buy a ticket from the firefighters and win a gun. Tickets are $25 apiece and we will start drawing on September 1, 2020. The grand prize again this year is the Sharps 1874 Montana Roughrider 45/70. The rifle is hand made in Big Timber. If you can't knock it down with a 45/70 you should stop hunting.
