J.DOG 1,355 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Can't wait for the season some of my fields have been cut and I gave into temptation on Monday and took the dog out for a shine , just for 1 slip caught one seen sh*t loads out but have noticed alot of dead rabbits young and old by the road being run over more than ever before and I've noticed an increase in foxes but luckily my land seems to have plenty on .

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 But aye, the further North you go the slower the crops grow... Down northern France they cutting wheat now. Spain was like a desert, all crops were long cut, unless corn or something but this had to be artificially watered. Im getting psyched about this season, theres plenty aboot, just need to order a new lamp and battery... think Im going all out with a variable blitz and a lithium battery set up ! !
