That sucks. Hope your zero is still good.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Dont feel bad. I encountered about 30 yellow jackets in the blind huddled in the corner. Went back to camp for spray. Thought i killed them all. Then while sitting in the dark a rogue wasp nailed me between The shoulder blades. Good luck. Raining in old dime box

We got there at 5am and began spraying. It's hard to get in the stand and spray them with nowhere to run and being 12 feet off the ground

This morning I got up and was headed to the stand then I woke up and headed to work That's the worst one right there!Bad crap happens. It could be worse. Had a uncle one time drove from sulphur springs all the way to Putnam. Close to Abilene. Forgot his gun at home! Lol. He stayed for 4 days and just watched the deer. Lol

Well, spent all afternoon sitting in the stand killing spiders! Those black, furry jumping spiders, they were everywhere. The ones that can see you coming for them and run away. I hate spiders!

Life is full of lessons to be learn! as time goes we remember those times, and hopefully not to repeat them! carefull thought and planning goes a long way.
My case was, back in early 90's had wasps in the blind, i jumped from about 7' off the ground, broke my fracture my right leg, and now that was a mess, trying to crawl back to truck, pack gear, a nd drive back home to the wife. Just little memories you keep the rest of your life, again, learning lessons!
Now all wasps die!
hunt safe.....

I sat in blinds with yellow jackets all over them all weekend. If its not 100 degrees if you don't bother them they tend to do the same.

Wasps! I would sneak in after dark the Friday before opening day. Quietly open the door and pull the pin on two foggers. Saturday morning, I would sweep them out. The fogging would last until the cold weather arrived.
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

It seems like deer would be able to smell the spray further away and for much longer than people would and that it would keep them away. Is that a concern, or am I being overly paranoid?
