    Caliber for Pronghorn....

    Put up a white flag they will notice and stay hidden and quiet, those prong horns are curious and will come to investigate. Any center fire will do but I prefer a .270. Old cowboy trick..

    45-70, 45-90, or 450 Marlin?

    Just traded a 45-70 cowboy to Cabelas Boise. Picked up a double rifle in 45-70 on the trade. Call Boise since the gun is in excellent condition.

    Had a notify me in stock at Midway for .22 magnum. Got the notification and bought 500 round brick. It’s a hit and miss since you have to be proactive and follow up.

    Bushnell optics
