Whoa! The Huntin's HOT Around Here
Fellow Guncranks,
I'v always said Pennsylvania has some of the best huntin' in the country. Well, today, I have "braggin' rights". Its in the eighties and the Carpenter bees are on the move. And so am I. This is just a sampling of what I harvested as some were blown to bits and others were lost in the foilage. A few were eaten by the dogs. No more holes in MY barn, you stinkin' pests! -------------------------Sixgun -- You boys have a nice day.
Marlin 39A with Remington & Winchester .22 Shot,
,
Other "tools of the trade". They work just as good but not nearly as fun. The 2+2 will pop 'em right out of the air and is also good for "coup 'de grace" shots. The custom 3/8" paddle with holes drilled in it is also deadly and doubles nicely for unruly children.

Re: Whoa! The Huntin's HOT Around Here
Good shooting, I have defended Myself from those buggers for years,and settled on My .410 skeet gun. it stops a charge instantly with any kind of a hit . if they get really close then we use them for badminton practice,a good Ole racket knocks them right down.

Oh boy, all of those witty responses! This time of the year those bees will fly right at you but I never have been stung--don't even know if they can. The suckers look like golf balls with wings on 'em.
I guess I could pay a couple of hundred to have them professionally removed but thats a couple of hundred I could be spending on primers and powder. A mans got to keep his priorities straight -------Sixgun

No, the reason he moved out West was because I encouraged him to move to a place where I could come out elk hunting for free. Then I encouraged him to buy a 4X4 truck and all the camp gear. Now, I'm trying to talk him into buying a gunshop. Hey, my mamma didn't raise no fool. ------------Sixgun

You should be hunting them with a 218 BEE. Or as an alternative, a 22 Hornet. If you prefer a higher velocity, a 6mmSM Wasp.

Re: Whoa! The Huntin's HOT Around Here
Hello Sixgun,
What a coincidence! My son-in-law & I were doing the exact same thing yesterday. He and my daughter live in a log home and have been reluctantly sharing it with the bees for years. If they're active you can see piles of saw(bee)dust below the holes they bore. The defense started in earnest yesterday.
I had a few CCI 22 LR shotshells and killed the first bee with one of them but not out of a levergun. The weapon of choice turned out to be a 12 ga. H & R, 28" full choke. Being a few hours north & west of you our bees are much larger. Ammunition used was some old Mini Shells I had around for many years. They're reloadable, take a charge of 1 (one) grain of bullseye, two .410 card wads over the powder, 80 grains of fine shot and topped with another card wad. The son-in-law had a long run going, said all he saw after one shot was a wing floating toward the ground! We didn't have any blaze orange on, did you?
Photo is of my other box of Mini's, these being 20 ga.
Best regards

Re: Whoa! The Huntin's HOT Around Here
Sixgun,
Yep, we met at Tiadaghton a few years back. At that time I didn't realize you were an internet celebrity. When we met you were pondering your way home since the dog ate your road map. Remember?
I haven't done much silhouette in a few years and probably won't for the foreseeable future, my wife having very serious health issues. I would like to get to the states for one day since CSLC is only an hour drive but that's a long way off and I won't plan ahead for it.
I took reloading components for my son-in-law and he reported that he got the limit again yesterday. Some of these folks don't seem to understand.
Best regards.

Re: Whoa! The Huntin's HOT Around Here
Tell me if "I am really doing it or what"?
Up till a couple years ago when them little goomers where flying
around just hovering around my my steps, I thought look at them
cute little bumble bees.They would kind of dive bomb around you but
I thought look how friendly they are.My wife was always yelling at me to kill em.I said they are friendly and they are Bumble Bees how cute.Then my friend said "hey yahoo they are drilling holes in your
carport rafters" their carpenter bees and they are not the same two you always see.
Ok,Maybe I am semi-retarded now I am pi**ed and me and my
schnauzer are killing em all.

Wasn't Bush's dog Barney a Yorkie. The one who bit the reporter. If so, then I think I will start liking Yorkies, too. Some reporters just deserve to find out that they are not God's gift to the world.

There cute.I love the Yorkies,we almost got one but my wife settled on a Mini Schnauzer.
They are kinda like the Yorkie but I think they bark more though.
But no shedding/dander/ chew only their toys/smart as whips! Both types are great!
