I don’t worry much about snakes when I’m out hunting around here (western AZ), but I never want to set off a hive of Africanized bees. I would probably die, because I don’t think I could run a mile in this terrain before being stung to death.
I am in the exact same situation. I hunt frequently and it has scared me to think about what I might be able to actually do to fend off an attack. Last year here a man was cutting a small pasture on a tractor and disturbed a hive of them and after jumping of the tractor and trying to run for safety he only made it around a quarter of a mile before being overcome.
