Great pics, but having been stung by them little *censored*s more times than I'd like, I'd just as soon you killed'em as took pics.  They really are not quite as cool up close and personal and pissed off at ya.  Very nice pics tho.

My brother got stung on the upper lip by a BFH a couple years ago in deer camp. We woke up to hear him cussing up a storm at about 2am. He said he got stung so we all went back to sleep. I fired up the lantern the next morning and about died laughing. He looked like he had a hotdog stuffed in his upper lip.

One by one,as we all got out of bed and got a look at him we just started laughing our asses off.It stayed swollen for 3-4 days. Its a couple years later and I still bust out laughing if I think of him and his lip.

Nothing like a good rain in the fall to bring them down.   Before that rain, they were nasty.  good pics, crazy, but good pics.

Crazy? Crazy? Coming from the guy standing in a landmine of rattlesnakes snapping pics?
