What is the best way to get a hornets nest down from a tree?

Saw one during hunting season on my property. It's about 60 feet up. Would like to have it for the camp.

I shot one down one time...better do it when it is cold, though or they will tear your arse up....

Just do it at night while they are sleeping. They won't sting you while in the night time dormant state.

You are in luck, they do not bite this time a year, just climb up there and cut it down

I think it's supposed to get chilly this week. Wednesday I believe. That's the day to make your move. Climbing up there 60' is a horrible idea! If they start stinging you and you fall you'll probably die. If they start stinging you and you take your time coming down, you're going to die from the amount of stings. If I wanted that nest I would take my 300blk ar and shoot the limb it's on. But then you risk messing it up. 60 feet is a long fall.

If you do end up getting the nest in one piece without killing your self, put it In a plastic garbage bag and seal it shut for a year to allow for all the hornets and eggs to die, then spray lacquer on it, they look pretty cool in a camp

Step 1, Find some giant Mexican kids and tell them it's a piñata ...step 2, profit.

I shot one down at the end if January with a .22 rifle. Wasn't too hard to hit the branch. Now hanging in the camp

Don't do what I did. My dad found one and he said he watched it for a while to make sure no hornets were in it. He said there weren't. He said climb up and knock it down and I'll catch it with this garbage bag.
He lied. Wasps had built a nest inside the hornets nest and they ate my arse up, but he got a good laugh and his freaking hornet nest.

Get it on a cold morning and let it drop in a garbage bag, tie the garbage bag tight so no air can get in it. I would wait a while to check and make sure they are all dead though. Or get a bee suit and one of those smoker things to use.
