Dear Customers, Dealers, Partners, and Friends,

The new U.S. State Department registration fee changes have been posted.  Please click here to read, or copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/documents/FRNotices/73FR55439.htm

As we sincerely wished would not happen, according to the proposed rule, ETSS now becomes a "tier-three" registrant, and our yearly registration fee as exporters would increase from $1,750 a year to at least $20,000 and possibly over $50,000 a year. 

We would appreciate your understanding and support during this critical time. In addition to our daily business duties, we are also working on making critical decisions on the continuation of the company.Thank you for your business, support, and friendship.

All the best from Colorado,

Michael and Emily Knehs

Goin' Huntin'

It's that time of year again, time for the Knehs family to try to fill the freezer. Here is our hunting schedule this year:

Labor Day (Monday, Septemer 1, a national holiday): Cow elk

October 11-15: Bull and cow elk

November 1-7: Doe deer

We will answer emails and phone calls when we return from those trips. The units we hunt in are close to home and office, but are in designated wilderness areas: in other words, no cell phone reception, and no wireless internet!

Europe Trip

Christmas through New Year (December 17-January 1): Visiting with family and businesses in Austria and Switzerland.

We will return emails and phone calls as best as possible during this time. We wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season!
