Interesting summer

One year there was 3 of us getting firewood here.
Boy we found some ground hornets with trees!!! I forgot how many we got into, 10-15. We all got stung many times. 
My Father drove the tractor so he made out very well for a while and said they are just trying to be friendly.  ;D  :
They were friendly to him too when he run a nest over with the tractor. We all watched him bale off the tractor, hat just a swinging and him swearing. Of course we all said, they are just being friendly. 
The worse part was, we were running a chainsaw and have no idea the tree had fell on a nest until they started to get friendly. I remember more than one a brother running, and the chainsaw was left by the tree running too.

Skunks getting stung is why they dont flinch when you insert a needle in their chest with acetone and inject it.  in a bit they roll over and play dead.  Of course I have the needle mounted to a three foot stick so I dont have to get real close.  Just move slooow and talk to them to calm them down.  You may think I am nuts but that is the truth.  Also if you have one  in a cage trap again move slow and put a blanket over the trap and you can take the trap and move it wherever you want,  normally I just crop it into a ditch or barrel of water.

Pretty sure while I was spraying and praying my wife heard my saying "This is my town! If you live to see the dawn, it's because I allow it! I'm in charge of everything! I decide who lives or who dies!"    :D  :D

About 20 years ago I had a bulldozer for doing forestry work. I learned that it will not out run yellow jackets. Apparently when I built the cage to keep limbs from hitting me I didn't put any exit point for the yellow jackets. They could come in no problem but couldn't figure out how to leave.
