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.
You can say the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse always gets the cheese!

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
