Black bears too.

Taken out two big nests so far this year. There's another one out there somewhere.

A #10 can with a little gasoline in it and a thin sheet of aluminum took out the one in the outside Garage doorway to the loft late one cool evening. No spray available.

The other one was under a parked trailer- took two tries and a sting to the eyebrow on that one to get them all.
Hard to move fast when one has to shoot laying on the ground on ones back, spraying up, first from one sid, then next day, the other side to get the whole softball size nest.

Doorway ones were aggressive little SOB's about 1/3 inch long. The trailer ones were over twice as big, quite tolerant of nearby activity, but even they could be pushed too far.... smile

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
