The Waiting Game!

Sorry folks but no pictures or video's to upload at present, so you will just have to do some reading instead.
It feels like stuck in a doctors waiting room, you know your appointment was at 10 but you are still sat there at 10.45 trying to read a magazine that has no interest to you what so ever. It must be at least two months since we have floored a fox which is due to the crops reaching a level where you can not see the blighters. Only the fleeting glimpse of an eye then gone if we got lucky.
Plus the bucks are making themselves invisible in day light hours.....so the wait has slowly ticked away.
Just one day away from July, actually less then 12 hours away which is bloody good news. The crops have turned golden meaning (crossed fingers) that the combine should be out within the next two to three weeks and hey presto we have our play ground back again. Must stock up on the pro plus as a few all nighters are on the cards to whittle down the charlie's.Plus, just maybe with this current hot weather the bucks just might start the rut a little earlier than usual.
It is also approx two weeks before the poults will arrive which starts the feed rota over again for this year. The pens still need some work doing with a work party planned for this Saturday plus the collection of the feed to store. I will be glad when that's done and the birds are in.
All in all July will be a busy month on all fronts concerning the shoot, thank christ for that, the trigger finger has nearly turned blue for lack of exercise.
