All weekend I was busted by the deer. They seemed to circle around the field or feeder and come up wind of me. I just sat there and listened for the next snort! But they were moving which suprises me a little since the wind was blowing pretty good. Then only thing I got this weekend was stung by bees 5 times before I could get down the tree and to my cart. I got to thinking of those stories about African bees awhile back. Unfortunately that was the only stand that stood a decent chance with a south east wind.

if they were africanized,you would of been chased by a swarm of them. atleast that's been my experience's with them. they are overly aggressive. but just getting stung once sucks enough.

might of been if they chased you for a way's. if you can find the hive, get ahold of the tpw or some authority on bee's and have them remove it or kill it if it is africanized bee's. with the honey bee's rapidly dis appearing there might be someone in that business willing to remove them at no cost.

That's a great idea however I lost my sunglass during the dash to the cart. Went back the next day to look for them and heard the buzzing again. Needless to say I am not going back there to that stand till it is dead winter!

Put an arrow in the hive. If they chase they are killer if not you might have some good honey to put on your biscuits.
