Traders of the Bighorn

  Summer plugging along
Well, back from Friendship and the heat of the midwest at the National Muzzleloading Champion Shoot. Traffic was good and gas prices were not all that bad. We can't do anything about it anyway so you might as well suck it up and live with it. Have been doing damage control trapping for coyotes and trying to get stuff ready for our 4th Annual Western Trade Auction at our store on July 15th, 2006. This weekend we gather and brand cattle ,around 180 head and next week I go to New Mexico to pickup a load of furniture. Ethan drew an Elk and Antelope tag and I drew a 3rd season Buck Deer Tag and an Antelope. Applied for alot more but will take what we can get. The summer season here has really cranked up and the tourist are buzzing like bees. It is still real dry and the fire danger is extreme but not near as bad as 2002. Left over licenses will be available through the Division of Wildlife about the 3rd week of the month and then that process becomes a rat race. That's all for now, and good luck and take advantage of your life.
