I had just set a game camera in a new location, and decided that I wanted to place one of my feeders in the vicinity of it. There are some intersecting trails here, and it looked like a good spot to get some pictures. The trigger on this model StealthCam is a little slow, so I like to use the feeder to get the deer to linger and give the camera time to do its work.
I was placing a new feeder when I realized that I was missing the top to it. I have another feeder still in the woods that is out of commission so I decided to go take that feeder down, and grab the top off of it. As I was walking out of the woods, I got buzzed by a couple of wasps. No big deal, the woods near me are loaded with them. I got back to the garage and took the top off this feeder. As I flipped it over, I noticed a wasp nest attached on the inside of the lid, and it had wasps on it. One flew off as I was holding it, and I pitched it to the ground.
I think I set a new record for the 40 yard dash, as I high tailed it away from these angry wasps.
So if you have your feeders out in this hot weather, use caution when removing the lids to refill them with corn. You might be met with a nasty surprise.
