  3. I guess I am...another hornet got me about 2 hours ago. Damn! :angry019:
    Must have been a straggler looking for its home. This one got me on the soft tissue just near the inside left ankle bone. I'm not a happy camper right now.
  4. Awesome gear and incredible pics, Gary! Well done sir.

  6. Thank you, Jeff. For the record, I had already picked my razor and took the picture before I saw your post today. :D
    Those hornets are just pure vicious. I'll try the vinegar if there is a next time. After tonight's third hornet sting, I used the same witch hazel, moist tobacco and Benadryl routine.

  12. Sorry about that extra hornet SOB. Hope you destroyed the nest. I was stung on the sole of my foot by a ground dwelling hornet about a week ago. The vinegar killed the venom, and I then killed the hornets. Kerosene and a match are the hornet equivalent of Dresden during the firebombing. It’s awful to say, but I did find watching them burn quite satisfying.

  14. I can't imagine the pain from a hornet sting on the sole of your foot. Ouch! My ankle is killing me tonight.
    The nest was made in a weird place. The hornets somehow made a nest inside a baseball equipment bag that was on a shelf in the semi-underground storage beneath my garage (sloped lot). The paper like nest overflows to the outside where the zipper wasn't closed all the way, which is how I spotted it. I haven't opened the bag yet, but I coated it with Wasp/Hornet spray. After doing that, I thought it was toasted. Normally I would have just set it on fire, but I want the preserve the baseball equipment inside.
