Topsfield, Ma.

fellow hunters,
chased an svb out of the patch today after stalking him for a good five minutes. the sucker eluded my kung-foo like reflexes to pummel him. think he got the idea he's not appreciated around here...or do you recommend keeping up the vigilance? anyone know if they have a blind spot? best method for eradication without taking out a sizeable portion of ag plant? sure would like to get an advantage !thanks for any ideas

I nailed one by hitting with a healthy dose of Sevin and then grabbing with my hand off the ground when it was flopping around. I put it in a coffee can so I could take a photo but when I returned after spraying it was dead. Very dead.
