Hi Chippy,
Thanks for the welcome, long time lurker, finally posted something I could offer help in, usually, its just reading and learning for me here.
I put them in 2lt plastic ice cream containers with boards over the top held on with rocks, as the very first lot helped the local foxs be flea free for the rest of their lives LOL.
20 cent sized holes to allow the pesky buggers access, tho once they find a food source, if you start with it open, they will come back and find a way in if you have made it dog/ other pest resistant.
wasp gps is pretty good, along with their sence of smell.
great thing about the fipronil, is that the active ingredient is what is used in flea collars, and at 0.05% its pretty target specific.
Yes you could nail some up in trees, as that was my second option if the boards were knocked off.
Also wasps return to the nest at night,so put the baits out in the morning, and in at night.
Our vegy patch I only put baits on open plates near the water source the wasps were loitering around.
Had given some bait to a friend also having wasp problems, and their dog got to the mince, we both had a good laugh at how the dog wont have any fleas for a very long time
it wasnt a large dog, scoffed it, and is still fine, that was last year.
Tho to be prudent, keep the dogs away from it, its only a week, and im not a vet.
cheers
Thanks
This will definitely come in handy.

Can't find a match that I'm happy with on this one. Closest I can get is a Black Cypress-pine, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Thanks mate, I couldn't match it just looking online.
Apparently a local tree bloke had said it's different to the others but couldn't identify it either.
My friend owns the place and she asked me to take photos so she could send them off to someone she's been put onto, then i thought "I could ask the brains trust on here too!"
Definitely not a Black Cypress, they grow a lot where I used to live.
It's not a native, it's a hybrid, a type of Leylandii to these uneducated eyes.

For sure it's a Leylandii, but which one?
There's heaps of them. There's a few UK based sites that might give some good leads....
I was trying to find drawings/pics of that nut, but I couldn't find one that was not open like that one and I could only guess, pretty badly, on what it would look like when open.
How tall do they get?
Get the headspace checked, normal go, no go gauges will suffice.
Most service rifle clubs will be able to help you with that.
Dont need a super hot load on those, not like what you can do with the 22 250
If you neck down from prefired brass, anneal the neck, then resize, reanneal and then go about your trimming and reloading
ive seen them in 303 . 22 and there a great little foxer.
I think the 2208 was the prefered powder for those wildcats, but its been a few years and would need to rummage around a bit to confirm.
Always a bit of work doing the reloading, but the results are well worth it.

We've measured this one at 10m and they are still growing.

This technique may be useful to you, also a little safer than reversing down a ramp and wearing out the brakes.

We used about 18 to 20 last year, big house on always going 24/7 for 3 months except for cleaning and going half the time for another 3.
Hoping to use closer to half that this winter....better insulated house (mud brick on a slab) and a bit smaller too......hope we don't use anymore than 12, I've sold the rest
Where's WidowMaker_1 with his 090 and straight as an arrow ripping when ya need him!?.. Ahh well the old man grunted and farted and got her done ha...
Few pics of the old man today ripping some Mount Mckenzie (Tenterfield) inland Blackbutt, Nice timber pretty clean as far as Blackbutt goes not much blood vane and a lot slower growing (tighter grain) than coastal Blackbutt so not as bad with checking/splitting...
