[QUOTE="4course, post: 7091002, member: 2772"] thanks for both of the above replies , the issue is having lost a crop this spring to the critters or their mates ( sp osr) when we took the approach of wait till you can see the whites of their eyes or the holes where theve been they wont be getting a second chance to reduce my grandkids inheritance .We havnt had an osr crop anywhere near for years ,was and still am hoping they wouldnt be here or at least not in numbers, my agronomist who is first class took the approach of wait and see in the spring ,I disagreed with him then , it cost us a crop (we all make mistakes) though not helped by slow emergence and my bad choice of low seed rate hybred seed ,another lesson learned. So as its unlikely we will be putting osr in as a regular crop in the future im minded to adopt a shoot first ask questions later strategy plus the nights are warm and humid ideal weather for the feckers so im going to sneak out under the cover of darkness and if I find the little ------they will be in great danger ,the question is if on finding some do I wait until emergence or go get em and then risk having to go again [/QUOTE]
