My biggest problem are BEES almost every year I step into a ground nest. One year I had a great silver signal bend down and started digging I hit a nest of yellow jackets bees. Got hit 6 times. Went back in the fall to the same spot and dug a silver half dollar.
Bullett due, wow bees are a pain!
I know Gene B from the club got stung by a wasp and had to call emergency because he was alergic.
Lesson learned and a word to for all of us
Hornets and wasps suck! evil little bastards!!
Dusty, OMG - those are some prehistoric size bugs - ouch - just looking at them.
What do you wear to protect yourself - body armor?
Those are huge. WHat happens if you get stung by them? Does your arm swell up?
They look like something out of a horror moovie! Yikes! I would only hunt in the cold weather so those buggers are hibernating
Today, I was detecting and along comes a bird with a long beak and probably red color on its front. I wasn't certain the type of bird but it seems to look toward me as I was digging. Could they smell a grum from 15 or 20 feet away? I don't know but maybe he saw it and wanted to get it - so I throw it near him and he ate it up and flew away.
Too bad I don't do videos that would have been a good one for bird watchers.
