I had to Google tarantula hawk.
Here in the east, we have Cicada killers.

"... And miles to go before I sleep".
I used to see them regularly in the Sedona/Verde Valley area. I knew people that would let them walk onto their hat and arm and stuff, that creeped me out, but I never bothered them and they never bothered me, despite sleeping out on the ground hundreds of nights. I understand they do jump, but havent witnessed it.
I walked out the door of a friends place in the Verde one night, on the wall about eye level was a fair sized blonde wolf spider. Not quite as big as the average tarantula, but getting there. I mentioned it, the buddy said "Oh thats so and so (they had named it)" They left it alone, figuring if it was surviving it was eating more bugs.

Looking down the canyon. The trail goes right down the narrow canyon bottom, hidden by the sage brush in the foreground.

They don’t care about you. He’s out looking for a wife.
I escorted one of those out of my building this morning. 9th grade kids doing a tour of the high school, secretaries and teachers freaking out. Picked her up with a trash can and put her down by a large tree so she could have a place to be.
Beautiful spider.

My first thought was wondering what caliber of CCI shotshell would be best for those
