Just got home from Spokane, rode the Mica area for about 8 hours today, saw a few moose. One nice bull. Real foggy most of the morning, windy and cold. It felt like November up high. Hornets were out in force, hopefully they will take a frost nap real soon. At one point, I unmounted the ATV to glass a bit, when I returned to it, there were 30+ hornets buzzing it, landing on it, etc. I said to myself "what now...?" I sneaked in between kamikaze attacks and started the machine, and waited for the masses to clear the seat area. Dove on in one motion and hit the gas, I damn near fell off the back, but I made a clean getaway. When I was just out of HS, I worked in the woods in Oregon and remember vividly many encounters with the pesky bald hornets. Those *censored*s can sting through pants and long johns, and they will chase you.
