Post lil side shoot ...

off that story...a friend and i were climbing this small mountain in upperstate new york near the canadian border when we came apon this guy who was extremely alergic to bee stings and had stepped
on a (in the ground) white faced hornet's nest.....and had been stung...on the trail about 3/4's of the way up the mountain.

By the time we found him he was nearly dead and could barely speak
so we had only two options....either run to his car and get him the anti-venom syringe in his glove compartment and run it back up the mountain or....carry him semi -firemen style down the mountain to save time...in essense a one way trip...which is what we decided to do...ok...anyways we each grabbed limbs and were running i mean running as fast as we could to his car....and sadly he had passed out
but was still breathing but just barely....so we knew he was almost out of time or life... but we were exhausted already as this guy was heavy...so I said: don't worry about dropping him or banging into trees so much! as much as possible get him to his freakin car ASAP. well we must have crashed him ,dropped him 6 times on the way down....laughing our heads off too, but it was either that...or he was a gonner for sure. Anyways we finally made it
and injected him with anti -venom and gave him water and he revived in short time....well enough to drive off on his own.

I saw one land above me in a tree at the Wachusett Reservoir last week. I've worked that area for 5 years now and that was the first one I've seen. The bird was huge.
