That's a big one, surprised you didn't see it sooner.

Tell me about it. I back my boat right next to that when I’m getting it ready to go to the lake. I was within a couple feet of that many times. Never even noticed it. Complacency I guess.

I saw this nest in my back yard last night. I though is was a bees at first but daylight came and it looks more like tree rats.

Another angle. It’s pretty big.

That’s the plan. It’s in the shed right now.

That’s the plan. It’s in the shed right now.

Could you spray it with some clear matt lacquer to preserve it ?

I had a lady call me the other day to say her dryer wasn’t working so I went to check the vent tube. All clear so I went outside to check the vent. I stuck my hand in the and pulled out a big wasp nest. Lucky for me is was not actively being used. I’ll never stick my hand in a hole again without taking a pic first.

That could be taken many different ways....just so ya know...

Neighbors had a big nest in a Maple tree last summer, wife and I went over with shotguns, neighbors loaded up to we pumped a dozen shots into the nest and shredded it birds cleaned up the rest.

It’s always fun to blow thing apart.

Years back we had a cleanup day at a gun club I belonged to. Weed eaters hit a a hornets nest near the ground. Hundreds came flying out and guys were running to the clubhouse about 250 ysrds away. We all went in and had a cold one to settle down. Others came and went in the club house with no hornet issue. After a couple hours we headed back out to pick up the gear we left. Less than 10 steps out the door, three guys ( the ones that hit the nest) were stung repeatedly and taken to the hospital, none of the others
were bothered. Hornets have a memorie that can last for days. If you ever take out a nest, make sure you get them all....cause they will remember and get revenge on you...
