I've declared WAR on carpenter bees . . .

[enfield]

FYI - let them crawl up into their little hole and squirt some WD40 into it, kills them instantly......

My intention is to kil them before they make holes in my deck. They damage the wood themselves, but the woodpeckers going after their grubs REALLY tears up the deck.

Seems cruel to squirt WD-40 up their little holes.

No need to kill them at all..... just take their tool belt

shooting them with grits sounds like fun. I still think a primer might be sufficient for a charge. I am going to make some with magnum primers this weekend, it is for sure the bag of grits in the pantry will never get eaten. Might as well put them to use.

LMAO! Awesome pic.

What if you loaded them with some type of small bird seed????

[seez52]

I use an old tennis racket, the strings really tear them up and there's no wind to blow them around like a standard old board. I've also used .22 shot shells, but you have to be more careful with them.

Anyone know where Marshall & Sanow rate those grit loads as far as one shot stop abilities?

This.

We definitely need updates on kills, Boone & Crockett scores, mounts, etc.

I haven't seen one recently - do you think they read these forums?

[Rightwinger]

That did look like a net capable phone. Your busted!!

[Guest 1817ak47]

I was thinking today of using this. my propane powered weed killer. xcept on those damn bees

[Rightwinger]

Kill it with fire....where have I heard that???

[DaveTN]

the little buggers buzz me when I'm sitting on my deck.

Those are the males and they can’t sting. Snatch them right out of the air. Its good practice for speed and eye/hand coordination.

Disclaimer: Females usually won’t bother you. But if you grab a female you will realize it very quickly. (Tests your reaction time).

[Guest BEARMAN]

Swatted a couple today with my trusty 1"x 4". It literally knocked them into oblivion.

Got one in his hole while he was boring, got him with Hornet spray...directed fire "on target" from about 6 feet; little booger backed out, and fell DRT!

They seem to be worse than normal this year for some reason.

I would use grits before I'd use hash browns or home fries.

[jughead]

i live where i can safely shoot them with 22 shot shells. seems to me the more u shoot at them the wiser they get. have had them fly up to me when i had my gun and just leave. no gun and they are every where

That's a male Carpenter Bee (white face), so he wouldn't be wearing a belt. The females do all the work, the males just find the holes, go in, and sex up the females.

That's awesome!

I think I'll use that next time I see a honey at the bar...

"hey girl! If you build me a house, I'll let you have sex with me."

So what is the proper load for moles? I can sit on my front porch and see them tunneling. By the time you get the shovel they are gone.......

.177 Gamo Whisper

[ls-vtec]

the tennis raquet is the answer if u have kids free entertainment .

[Guest Jeremey]

Mark that down, next rifle purchase will be a.177. I dont think the neighbors will appreciate the 870 wingmaster going off every afternoon after work.
