DANG IT MAN...THAT HURTS !!!

I had started down the ridge to my hunting stand just at daylight this morning when I felt an intense burning sensation on my stomach. At the same time, I felt 4 or 5 impacts on my face mask. I realized that I had stepped on or very near a hornet's nest. Abandoning any attempts to continue to slip to my stand, I took off like the deer I had seen crossing the road this morning. At least one persistent defender followed me the whole 20 yards to my stand so I had to go on past to lose it. I must be getting wimpy because 8 hours later it's still swollen and still hurts in spite of several applications of Benadryl Cream.
