I was shooting my brothers brand new shotgun (1) ("here, try this") when I backed up and stepped on a fire ant hill. I was getting stung but I didn't know how to make the gun safe so I couldn't just drop it. My brother had to run to my aid and take it. Its funny now but certainly not at the time. I hate fire ants. (1) We shot skeet for 6 days in a row! Happy times.

My wife and I had a small ranch just north of Austin and had a ton of fire ants. Often when clearing a field with the tractor and a brush cutter I'd hit a mound of fire ants. If the wind was just right they'd blow right into my face. Lots of fun. We have since moved north and I was just commenting to my wife how tame it is here without the rattlesnakes, fire ants, and killer bees. Don't miss that time a rattlesnake got into the house one night. Texas sure isn't boring.
