I had better get busy in the gun room and load up some more bee loads. :)

[Smokin45]

3 down. Fast buggers.

[LI0NSFAN]

got 5 in the bee trap and 1 with the air rifle. It was a good day for me.

[sigmtnman]

Grit waisters.

[JGunner]

I've killed 2 wasps in the last week ... one with my keys, the other with an altoids can.

 

I really hate wasps ... anything nearby becomes a weapon when I encounter one LOL

[RED333]

I have one of them "shock" fly swatters, if the swing do kill them the shock will.

Knocked down 3 today.

[Good_Steward]

This can only mean one thing....less than one week until the first yellow jacket thread :)

Hey I got one with my pellet rifle after I mowed the yard this afternoon!

[bersaguy]

Flying Insect spray works well on them also. I have got 5 so far................... :up:

[Troutburger]

I'm about 8 wasps ahead this season.

Man, I wish I could play. No way I could get away with it here. Here's my weapon of choice, though. Even have all the stuff to make the loads...

 

[Gun Smith]

Three in the trap still kicking, and two taken out with an old tennis racket yesterday afternoon.

[frankmako]

[R_Bert]

[LI0NSFAN]

got another while sitting on the porch, i used my sons wiffle ball bat. It did a great job, first swing and that bugger went far. I had to track it down to make sure he was dead.

[sigmtnman]

Wiffle ball bat is cheating. 

 

Be a man and get a 1/2" dowel.

Killed a couple with my hat this afternoon. Was doing something and didn't feel like walking to the basement to get my bee loads.

The bastards have destroyed one of the boards on my patio roof. It's full of holes.

My little boy sure likes when I knock em down!

[Troutburger]

Anybody got a good bee load for hp 38? In 357/38

[enfield]

In .38 Special, I use 2 grains of Bullseye, overpowder wad, fill with walnut grit, overshot wad.  Not a recommendation for anyone else, just info.

This is the only reason I have been wanting a 38/357. 9mm cases don't hold a lot of media or rice. One could make a "buck-n-ball" load using walnut media and rice if the case is big enough.

[Troutburger]

enfield, are you using a play doh wad?

[jaxjohn419]

I got 7 this morning, using a tennis racket also. My lab likes to chew up the ones that hit the ground stunned.

[Dolomite_supafly]

I was using cork gasket material for wads. I would use a drill press as an arbor press to cut out wads. I was using 2 grains of clays topped with a wad then walnut media and then another was. I just didn't like the fact 9mm doesn't hold a lot.
