Grouse Opener in Vermont

[Richard Flanders]

I'm sure it did! Oh my! That pic didn't come up when I first looked at your post. Damn. Painful for sure.

I got into a nest like that here in my woods while cutting firewood. Those bad boys got all over my back and head and chased me 150ft back to the house and stung me up pretty good. I sprayed the nest down so I could get in and get my chainsaw, which was sitting on the ground running for half an hour. Then I got my weed burner out and as the foragers came back looking for the nest I wing shot them with the weed burner. Talk about satisfying! I kept it up until there wasn't a single one left.
