That's a nice one...sho wish I could find me one that size.... I know where 2 are at..... They are 90-11 feet up in the air in trees though hanging over a big bluff. Big-guns too. I find a couple each winter in tn in the same area... Same ridges at least.

Glad you came to your senses and took the easy (smart/safe/live-to-fight-another-day) approach! That's one hell of a nest - I don't think I have ever been one that big.

Looks like an elephant sack. If I could imagine what one looked like.

I would not have risked life and limb if it was a junker. After it dries out I'm gonna spray it with hairspray and bag it up real gently and take her home. Keep in mind that when the hornets are dead, you're not finished with it, yet...there are still eggs/larvae that may survive the spray after it dries and dissipates, some. It would suck to bring it into the man-cave and have it suddenly "return to active duty"! Seen that happen before with bagged nests.

pretty cool how they camoflauge it like that, you walk into one like that in the dark during first couple days of bow season, it'd be ugly

I've been thinking about that very thing Gonna put it in a freexer for a month or 2 so that hopefully all the larvae will die. Would have been a lot less drama if you would have just waited till cold weather, could of just walked up and cut it down.
Not nearly as funny though. You didn't read the post where it couldn't stay till winter

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
