I was running a brush hog on an old 8n tractor so I'm constantly looking behind me adjusting the elevation of the deck when I feel something lightly bump my head. Suddenly I am getting hit over and over so bad I jumped off the tractor and ran. It was a HUGE paper wasp hive.
I'm fuming all evening about my 20-30 bites or stings. After enough beers and nightfall I went back with a five gallon bucket, lid and linemans pliers. Cut the whole nest off the branch and quickly secured the lid after it fell in the bucket.
I shook the bucket constantly listening to the little cunts attack for almost 3 days. Once they were finally dead I hung their enormous nest in my shop as a trophy.
