Black pepper wont always work, I've seen the yellow jackets so bad it didn't even phase them. I was on an early high hunt in Oregon and we shot two deer and getting them chunked up and in the cooler was like something out of a horror movie. Even skinning them meant grabbing hand fulls of hornets because they were literally covered with bees. Any piece of meat left out was literally covered in bees to the point you could not see anything but bees in just a couple minutes. The black pepper had no effect at all, getting all the bees off before putting the quarters in the cooler was impossible, had to get the last of the bees off when we got home.

This is just what I did. I mixed up a concoction of chilli powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper, along with lemon juice and I soaked my game bags in it for 24 hours then I hung them out to dry. The next day I re-rolled them with an extra helping of the peppers mix and vacuum sealed it tight and flat. I carry that in my bag and it seems to work pretty good.
