You might try contacting some of the hornet control guys in your area and see if they know of any.  There is a guy in my area that takes hornets but I don't think he takes the nest; if there is someone in your area doing this kind of work, maybe they could let you know when they get called out to a large nest and then you can see if you can get it.  Just a thought. 

Maybe Gutpile will have an idea on who to contact?
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

No of one in the brush, going up there tomorrow to scout ill send you a pm if its still there. But it is occupied with them white faced hornets and they are no joke! You will probably have to wait till october to snag it.

Here is a pic of a guy in my area that takes nests:

Find someone like him in your area and you can probably get a nest. Or contact him (Mike Juhl) and see if he could ship one to you..........  :dunno: http://www.hornetnestsfreeremoval.com/501.html
