Yellow Jacket Swarm Calls

[Thom]

As July comes to a close 99% of the swarm calls we will get from here out will be for yellow jackets. From time to time there are people who collect yellow jackets for their venom. Does anyone know anyone in the state doing this anymore. I probably get ten calls a year looking for this person. He used to be with the U of W, but I never have found out who he is and if he is still collecting yellow jackets. Any leads?

There is a fellow from the castle rock area that does collect yellow jackets for medical purposes.
I don't know his name but will try to find out for you.

That's the guy. I don't know if he'd come to the coast to collect them, but maybe he could help the Portland area.
