Traders of the Bighorn

  SUMMER IS APPROACHING FAST! Well, our Auction went off with a Bang! We had great weather and a big turn out. We sold over 900 lots and the sale went from 9:00 in the morning until 6:00 that night. Another big success thank goodness. It will be the same time next year the first Saturday after Memorial Weekend. Hopefully, if you did not make this years maybe next year.

If you are still looking for that great Elk Hunt we still have just a few openings left for this year. We also just received a few land voucher tags also. If interested please check out our website www.highparkoutfitters.com or call Dan at (719) 269-7972 for more info.

The store has alot of new merchandise for the summer, please check out our website or better yet stop by the store. We are open 7 days week year around. Right now from 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 or later. Our phone number is (719) 275-3205 and our staff would be glad to help you with what ever you are looking for.

Have a great day!

  Changes & Waiting Now, the waiting game begins. Colorado Division of Wildlife won't be holding any of their drawings until May and June for Deer and Elk. It's called wait and see and the anticipation grows!

Also, the store is busy. We are always getting in new merchandise. But, we are getting ready for our 5th Annual Western Trade Auction too. Already starting to get in some really unique items. Keep looking at our auction page.

This year we will not be attending the National Muzzleloader Shoot in June. Our Annual Western Trade Auction will be on June 2nd and Dan would need to leave on the 5th to get back to Indiana and set up. The show starts that Saturday. We are normally there for 2 1/2 weeks. But, Dan has also been really busy with his Animal Control Business and he will be doing a big job for a Water Works Department removing Geese which has to be completed by June 30th, 2007 by Federal Law. So, there is just not enough time. Hopefully, next year.

  Fur Season coming to an end Here it is almost the end of February, boy where did the winter go. Dan and Ethan have been busy trapping and doing Predator Control trapping Coyotes for our area ranchers and it has been a tough season. He has over 20 ft drifts in alot of the areas and this is how it has been for the past 2 months. We had 5 weeks in a row with snow over the weekends leaving anywhere from 12 to 36" each time. The fur harvest has been pretty good considering the conditions it sure takes Dan alot longer each day. Next year we will be better prepared. We had gotten spoiled with the Colorado weather the last 15 years. The store has been busy and we are already starting to do our shows that we do each year and getting ready for our annual auction. Til next time take care! Dan, Karen & Ethan
