I was walking in my woods in Townshend VT in rather thick small saplings, was recently cut timber. When I was attacked by black white tail hornets away and in the clear. I got out of there quickly, not knowing what way to run, just run. Some time later when the leaves dropped I saw a large paper wasp nest in a small tree, no wasps then, or were in hibernation. It appeared that I was about 50 feet from the nest, no way near and couldn't see it, but got nailed. Thankfully I'm not allergic to the stings. Wasps / Hornets are unpredictable and I've had my share of episodes while being innocent. not molesting. But, I've also had my pay back times in late evenings when they are in bed. I haven't seen any mention of this type of wasp which is reportedly aggressive.
Some people save those paper nests for decoration.
