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**.

RE: Help with unwanted residents of my treestand
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.

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.
