Found some more this fall.  I collected 5 and probably will get two really good ones out of it.

I found this one while chasing moose on Hangman.   I left it and was going to pick it up after I was done...well a big storm came through and obliterated it.

This is another one I wanted to collect.   Probably no way to get it intact though.    I though it was really cool becasue its the first one I have seen in a pine tree that high up.

After the first big freeze, birds, usually FLICKERS, tear into these.  They dig out as much larvae as they can get and dead and or lethargic and dying hornets.    You can see where a bird tied into this one.    I used another nest to repair it and am seriously thinking about hanging it in my new office.  When I get it hung, I'll get a pic of the finished product.

Very cool Bone.. love those hornets nests hanging on a wall like that.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I know where there is a big nest.. I am going that area next week.  I may have t see if it is still intact and if so, can I get it down in one piece.  I took pics of it in September, gonna have to find those.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I remember finding on along the river in Nov one time. I started packing it to my truck on a mild weather day. Damn yellow jackets came out and I got stung once. I tried to teach them how to swim but they didn't do so well.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Here is the one I saw this fall.  It is on the East side, so hoping it is still intact.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

It might be Huntbear.  I see that big pine behind it, it might be dry as a bone under it.

Bone, how high up are these things.  The one in the tall pine is of great interest.  That is usually an indicator as to what the snow level is going to be.  Just thought I would ask.
