    I have been trying to work out where it was for weeks, then this Arvo just standing there spotted it so happy I had. It was in the area I was searching based on their moments but couldn't locate it before

    The paper wasp nest was hung near the bottom of a strainer post, the grass was partially hiding it which made it harder to find.
    The common wasp nest was under some gorse along the fence line. I used my spot light to find it, they started to move with spot light on them but stopped when I turned it off

    Deer shooting but ended up with poor mans venison, nice nanny to eat and a billy














    Check out the massive exit wound from the 308 from the neck shot then pulled some of the round out of a tree a good 60m plus behind it . Rem corelolts

    Hard luck. Was thinking about using your idea for a trap but today there were no wasps so won't be needed. Finding the nest is very effective haha :-P

    carbyol was the best stuff for wasp's, just sprinkle it by the nest or use a pipe to blow it in. Can't seem to buy it now, pity

    Carbaryl can still be purchased from the gardening section of mitre 10.

    Trip into spaniard country yesterday.. Spaniards are not so much fun anytime, even less fun in the dark, with a howling nor-west and heavy showers. Still an awesome day

    Two fallow, including a first for a mate, and a dozen wallabies to top it off..

    Lots of rabbits jumping round at work, but not even worth asking to shoot them
