Having a hell of an afternoon! 72 degrees and sitting in the shade on the patio drinking beer shooting wood bees! LOL 22LR and magnum ain't just for snakes anymore!







Git ya some! LOL

Maybe to many beers?

Urban Myth. No such thing.

Taking it easy here.

Bar-S spring water end of time prep.

That's a helluva trophy. Need a rec. for a taxidermist?

Gun shows are brutal.

You found ammo?

Most impressive.

That dumb beotch almost made that poor dog trip.

WTF? Right?!

There was three of them flying around the patio in a triangle pattern. Watched them for a while and said to myself,"Self, I can kill those bees!". They look like they're trying to breed. Nos ir, not on my watch! LOL

Killed three so far and now only see one here and there.

They gittin smart.

22LR too short range. What you want is the magnum. Double the effective range and alot more shot.

About to light the fire here. Hoping the wind settles down. I'm so damn beautiful the smoke, oh jeezus the smoke, it hounds me. Lawd have mercy.

They wouldn’t give you $1150 for a Savage autoloader?

😂

Bar-$

lol

😫😩😢☠️🏴‍☠️💀💩🙀🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re my [bleep]

We load walnut polishing media in 38 Special shells for wood bees. You can shoot ‘em in the barn. Hell, you could probably shoot your shoe without injury, but it’ll knock ‘em out of the air reliably at close range.

That's a good tip. Shotshells ain't cheap!

Nice work Roy.

FYI... any petroleum distillate will kill bees, wasps et al. Suffocates their breathing and they can't fly. Stomp them while vulnerable if you are so inclined/OK with killing things.



Old video I found...

Yellow Jackets vs 1997 Dodge 3500 (with the windows rolled UP)...

Listen to those fellas pepper my windshield... immediately before a bit of front wheel ground pounding grinding...

Tannerite is also an option, but my neighbor Dave is a war vet and not so keen on boom-booms. Kindness abides.

BTW... Good shooting Roy!

PRO TIP: Split the insect. Don't center punch.

Onlookers can't claim it flew away.
