You Guys Don't Really Have Time For This, But..... - 08/01/14 08:58 PM

Since I do write a column in the World's Largest Magazine devoted almost entirely to ADC people, I just have to ask: In which

quarter are you the busiest? June, July, August, or September, October, November, or December, January, and February, or March,

April, or May? And if you don't like the way I've divided the quarters, please tell me when you are the busiest and what part of

the world ( Yeah, I know, it used to be the USA ) you are located in. I really enjoy hearing from other countries. ( Who'd

have ever thought that the day would come when we would be able to hit a stupid keyboard and talk to people in our same line of

work, on the other side of our world? ) I'll tell you again; This Is A Fun Job!

Thanks wormbobskey; I have cousins in Ohio and as I remember, you're about one month ahead temperature wise.

Thanks Jim. I have to admit that it will take a heck of an August to beat July this year.

Young ground hogs are getting out on their own and digging up the county. Young coon are still with momma for a few more months. Which means momma coon is eating any and everything they can find. Lots of calls of coon in the bird feeders. Was getting a few snake calls a week in the first part of june, but haven't had any at all in july.

My busiest quarter would be June, July, August but there are other busy periods, just of shorter duration.

March is skunk breeding time up here and produces a good amount of work.

In late October and November the beavers get in a frenzy to raise the level of their ponds and cut as many food trees as possible before the freeze up. That's actually my favorite work.

It kinda depends on when winter gives up honestly. Sometimes March, April and May then slows down till last week of July/First week of August through mid October. And sometimes it doesn't start until a week or two into April and its a blur until October.

May, June and July as well for me. But this year it doesn't seem to slow much. Must have been that crazy winter.

Thanks guys! Great response from the northern tier of the country. I would like to hear from, let's say, Georgia, Florida, Texas,

Louisiana, and California. ( Does anyone else get the feeling that these guys might be busy all year long? ) Don't worry guys, anyone

who is dumb enough to live in the snow belt, is dumb enough to die there. If we didn't like it, we would move. You guys don't have

any idea of what fun is. We've got a basically, Chicago President, who has one of the tightest gun control policies of any city in

the USA. I guess this would define his term in office: "The easiest place to get shot in the country"!

September through February down here. I know that's 2 of the time frames you asked about but they were pretty equal last year for me. September is about the time the hunters start running in and out and see all the coyote tracks and find where the beavers have the creeks dammed up and calls start rolling in. HOPEFULLY!

90% of the land here is owned by timber companies and leased to hunters so year round maintenance doesn't happen. And most are afraid to invest in anything for fear of losing leases.

Third quarter of the year has always been our busiest time for many moons on average. Pa

I agree wholeheartedly, Bob. Which is why I wait with great anticipation for the Fourth quarter. Grandma, has decided to take us to

Hawaii for a cruise of the islands over Thanksgiving ( That certainly seems like something to be thankful for ) You are all invited.

( No, you're going to have to pay yourself. Grandma ran out of money paying for the fifteen of us ) but look at the bright side, if

you've never been to Hawaii before and always wanted to go, if you get on our cruise, we will have an official meeting on board and

write the whole thing off as a business trip. ( Take that, Obama ) Oh yeah, I'm really glad I married Grandma! ( And so are the other

thirteen ) I will probably die broke, but isn't that the idea? ( This job is more fun than a man should be allowed to have )
