Several years ago I was walking in the woods in N Wisconsin to check a deer stand with my Lab. He thinks he finds a large ball in the grass so he attempts to bring it to me but no it was a mud dauber Hornet nest which proceeds to attack him. I see him jumping up in the air and rolling to stop them, not knowing what he got into I call him and see the swarm of hornets on and chasing him. I take off running and the swarms comes after me fortunately I had a wool shirt jacket on and pulled it over my head. Those buggers chased us for 200 yards. I was stung 8 times and my lab maybe 15 or so, we both took some benedril. The next morning was cool to I made a torch (rag soaked in Gas) and returned the favor. I have also shot nests out of trees with my 12g, it works but they get pretty nasty if it isn't cool out
