    The only good wasp is a dead wasp. I am with you BF I used a whole can of fly spray last week when cleaning out my gutters. Bloody paper wasp nests everywhere.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Ha, wasps always remind me of my friend Nick. As a kid I was at his place and we were taking turns riding his bike around one of the paddocks (PeeWee 80). Anyway it was his turn and I was watching zooming along when all of a sudden shit got crazy and he bailed off at speed and then got up running around shouting his head off and ripping his shirt off

    I was just watching in bemused silence, eventually he returns - wasp had flown up his short sleeve and then got stuck in the shirt and zapped him around the armpit area several times. Still - it could have been worse, it could have been suzumebachi (Giant Asian Hornet):

    Good work Dundee. I went and had a look at a piece of bare land yesterday and there must have been thirty bloody plovers on it.

    Wasps can't move fast in the mornings or evening when it's cold, they will sit and look at you till their body temp warms up.
    Try varget and a lighter, makes good videos when wasps are involved.. So pictures pussy

    Got up late this morning and the missus say theres 12 pest birds in the barn paddock.

    May as well take both mags ith think. 5 shots and 4 pests later, I come in for a coffee. Just about to take a sip when I spot a black dot moving in the back hay paddocks. Coffee on the bench and back out I go.

    Six rounds and 6 dead birds this time.

    The finally tally : 11 rounds 223 40gn Vmax, 10 dead pest birds. Ranges from 50 to 240 yards.

    The coffee is now at perfect drinking temp. God knows after that mornings work it'd still be enjoyable stone cold.
