We deployed the mobile hunting shack in the woods on Saturday. It's reasonably level, and supported by five cinderblocks with wood cribbing.

I've cut down several thorn apple trees in that interior field that would have been in the way when shooting. I also cleaned up several shooting lanes.
Just before leaving on Saturday, I tossed a rock at the wasp nest and several flew out of the nest and buzzed around.
We planned on returning on Sunday to do some ladder stand work.
On Sunday, I remembered the 12 gauge shotgun and a box of birdshot for the wasp nest.

Using an extension ladder, it was easy to get the old damaged 20' ladder stand down from it's tree.
The new 18' two person ladder stand went up in the former location for the old 20' ladder stand.
That Honda Pioneer made it easy to get all the tools/equipment/and ladder stands moved around.

We brought the seat frame section of the old 20' ladder stand home for some refurbishment.
It is "tweaked" ever so slightly. ie: twisted. No broken welds, no bent tubing, structurally it's fine. It's just not perfectly "plumb" but it is safe and serviceable.
I had a "take-off" John Deere seat sitting around, I bolted it onto the 20' ladder stand seat frame.

Just before leaving the property on Sunday at dusk, I went back to the edge of the interior field and the wasp nest, and fed them five rounds of 12 gauge 7-1/2 birdshot from about 20 feet away.
The nest disintegrated.
