Attacked by Nature......
 

OK so got off work early, ran home, and headed out to the stand for the first sit of the season....only to be sent home early by an attacking hornet!![:'(]The darn thing just wouldn't leave me alone! It was just one (a big one[&:])and I was being dive-bombed by what sounded like a freakin' twin-engine plane. I know, I know call me a wuss or whatever, but I've been stung by these suckers and (explitive) it hurts.

So I just wanted to vent andask when do these suckers die off for the year....

Dont you have a fly swatter in your gear bag (wuss)?Maybe you set up in his tree...

RE: Attacked by Nature......

That's why I wear a cap 24/7. I always have a bug killer. You think you have it bad? I'm in South Texas and failed to notice the huge yellow jackets nestthat was in the limb that I waschopping on with a machete last weekend. Cap or no cap, I got hit 6 times. I won't soon forget that.

Last time I was stung was from ground hornets I happened to push my push mower over. I thought it was pebbles stinging me until I realized, 5 stings later....I was inside looking out with my mower still running....lol

Now, put your big boy pants back on and go hunting. [8D]

Wimpy ... wimpy ... wimpy [8D]you let one little hornet stop you from hunting , like Rob saidput your big boy pants back on and get out there.
You shouldn't let a hornet get in the way , the next time KILL the darn thing and continue to enjoy your hunt.

HORNETS REALLY PISS ME OFF....im not seeing them much anymore this year but im in Wisconsin anditsgettin kinda chilly

RE: Attacked by Nature......
 

Kill them hornets, but don't waste the meat. They are high in protein.

RE: Attacked by Nature......
 

Yes, "wuss" is called for. If I let wasps and hornets scare me off my stands I wouldn't get much
eary season hunting in. Now granted, I hate them and can't stand when they are picking on me,
and I may make more movement than I should (especially if they land on me:D). But I am not going to
get out of the stand for one. You can swat them with your hat if they are dive bombing you.
Oh and yes I have been bitten by the entire insect kingdom.

I'm sure some of you guys have been in a box stand with a wasp nest before. As it warms up they
start to come out of hiding. [&:] I killed about 10 with my gunstrap and boot - didn't see any deer
that day. :D:D
