Help with unwanted residents of my treestand
 

Well, what can I do to get rid of these and claim my stand back??? That is a basket ball sized bee hive hanging under my stand. How do I get rid of them? Keep in mind this stand is up 30 feet. What to do????

HELP!!!

A shotgun loaded with #6 shot and run like he** [&:]. Is it in the same tree? It looks like it might be in a smaller one growing under your stand. If so cut the limb or the tree itself down and again run like he**.

Wait til the snow flies and knock it down?[&o]

The hive is actually attached to the platform of my stand!!

I cant burn it I'd loose my stand:(

Mdbohunter had a good idea or if your a good enough shot use a .22 to shoot the limb (if the limb is thin enough).
Not that it's a great idea but you can buy clippers or chainsaws which are extendable and reach up to 15 feet.
Whatever you do post us back and let us know if it worked. It's an interesting situation to say the least.

isn't that a daisy? :)

i agree with others, i would shoot it out with a shotgun.

I dont have any good advice except maybe smoking them out with a bee smoker then removing it. At least thats how the bee hive guys do it I think. Or call a pest exterminator and ask them what to do.

I mostly want to reply to say although good advice everyone want to ruin your tree stand. lol shoot burn it saw it lol just thought it was funny. Hey maybe you can make a pipe bomb and put it up there that will get them and you could run farther waiting for the fuse. ;)

oh, well that changes things entirely. i might try wasp/hornet/bee killer. that stuff will spray like 20 ft. i would just climb up as high as i could and still be able to jump when i needed to. lol, either that or just abandon it entirely for this season...

If it were me I would use the hornet spray. Wait till it's dark so all the hornets are inside and really soak it good. I don't think bees fly at night.
