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....

wuss

Tell'em TX ..try sitting in a Texas shooting house..Hornets are the norm!!

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

why didnt you kill it with your hat?

haha wus..just joking

Like they say: If it does'nt poke ya or sting ya, it will bite the hell out of ya!

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.
