Oh yes .... Not trying to be a know it all but its the outside covering not the nest proper . Folks on some other forums seem to think its the actual next inside . Now ....dont gete wrong you can use the inside and you can use old wasp nest too just make sure the holes are empty with more grubs in there .... Messy messy ! LOL ....green grass works good too but most hunting is done in the fall and winter , obviously , so a hand gull of hornets nest thrown in the hunting pouch is handy . it won't burn so doesn't smolder or catch the leaves on fire after its been shot .
