Once during shotgun season my buddy and I drove about 45 minutes to our hunting spot. We got out of my truck to get ready, both put on camo, spray down, orange vests, more spray, etc. I got my gun out of the case, he grabbed his. I unlocked mine, he had no key for his trigger guard! He decided to not hunt, I loaned him my truck to go home. I told him to be back at noon. Well, he got home, fell asleep and I got to hunt for a few extra hours that day.

Bow season opener one year. Had a spot all picked out, planned the entrance based on wind direction, jumped deer on the way in. Figured oh well, I was circling around the long way to get to the spot, so I'd hunt it anyway. Got into the stand site before sun-up and hunted all morning. Inoticed an unusual amount ofwasp activity. When I got down, I realized that there was an underground nest at the base of my tree. I unstrapped myself, then kept going back to the tree to get both parts of my climber, my safety belt, my bow, etc. As I got each piece, I moved them away from the tree to avoid getting stung. Safely away from the tree (I thought) as I'm bending over to secure my climber, i hear buzzzzzz coming from inside my jacket! I did the swat dance for a while til I was satisfied that I crushed the little bugger. I went back to packing my gear, then again buzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Swat dance #2... Well, I'm sure I looked pretty dumb when I realized that something had blocked the hole in the Primos Can in my pocket and it started buzzing every time I bent over! Power of suggestion!
