I went last week to check on one of myhang-on stands and found a BIG surprise. No, my stand was still there as some of you might be thinking it was stolen. It had\still has a hornets nest hanging from the bottom of the platform. I guess I will leave that stand sit until cold weather. Has anyone else ran across hornets trespassing on your stands?

Really, I second the wasp poison. Then later, knock it down with a looooong stick and run like hell. Please videotape all of this for us.

I'd let my good for nothing brother-in law spray it with poison and knock it down with a long stick while I videotaped with the telephoto lense.

Actually yes, Being a kid, I have a paintball gun and shot that nest aprat from about 35 yards away. I would highy recomend this method, as I didnt get stung 1 time.

Get some spray, and get rid of it. No hornets ever for me, but I did have a hand-tp-hand combat with a porcupine. I won, but I think I got the worse end of the deal, lots of quills in the legs and arms. Finally ended up killing him with my Buck 110, stabbed him to death!

Found a big nest between the seat and platform in one of my friends stand he leaves up all year long.
It had feathers , small bones and bird dropings all over it and from the size of the nest it had to be from some type of hawk or egeal.
