Rod, your drawn-down idea to disrupt the LMB spawn is a very interesting idea.
A 5' elevation drop, and return, seems pretty drastic, and I would think there would be other unknown consequences. But that's just some thoughts. I have no idea.
Along the same thoughts, maybe there are some other ways to mechanically affect the LMB spawn, that may help reduce numbers. If you could physically disturb a few nests, maybe that would be beneficial, but again, I have no idea.
