    Default Wacking and stacking

    [ATTACH]69137[/ATTAC toH] just joined a new club and one of the members was nice enough to allow me the use of his tower stand when I told him I wanted to take my granddaughter this afternoon. Looked the other day and no wasps. Decided to sit it this morning just to see what was coming and these little bastards came from everywhere. I was swatting and stomping as fast as I could. How I didn't get stung is a mystery to me. Thank goodness it wasn't this afternoon when I will have a six year old girl and her very pregnant momma with me.

    I've been stung but a lot of different types of bees and wasps but the "ringed paper wasp" is, by far, the worst. They are also usually very docile but once they get going they leave a mark.

    I got hit in the hair line by a bald-faced hornet two years ago. Felt like I got struck by lightening and hit with a baseball bat at the same time.

    Last summer I noticed a big "ringed paper wasp" in my bedroom. I tried to get him, but he disappeared. Later that night I jumped into bed and threw the blanket over me. A few seconds later my thigh was on fire and I knew exactly what it was. I threw back the blanket and got him. My thigh burned for the rest of the night.

    Very impressive that you came out unscathed.

    Stihl backpack blower with talstar always treats the boxstands before the season. Kills all wasp spiders bugs. Hell one time I saw a squirrel come out.

    Getting caught in a deer stand with a bunch of angry wasps is near the top of my fear list.

    A can of wasp spray in the corner paid off last weekend. Friend hunting my condo stand climbed in, sat down, noticed 20 on a nest above entrance. Was ready to climb down and noticed can. Sent a kill pic that looked about the same. Shot a boar hog later that morning.

    One year, the river came up really high. We were exploring areas previously explored by boat. Current was ripping. We were going with the current.

    I noticed up ahead, a hornets nest. Hanging just high enough to get hit by the console. I am still amazed I didnt capsize or destroy the boat getting turned around in that mess.

    Red wasps I call wood wasps. I like to find their nests and shoot them with a bb gun. I call it hunting dangerous game.

    The yellow ringed wasps I call guinea wasps. No idea why.

    It’s likely because everyone calls them guinea wasps.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    They could crawl up my sidewalk with paper for me to sign from Publishers Clearing House giving me $5,000/week for life and I would take the paperwork, thank them, then stomp the fuck out of every one of the bastards and set their carcii on fire.

    Yes sir. Hornets feel like being shot and continue to burn. I hate all stinging insects. I would rather have a rattlesnake in my stand than a wasp nest
