Discovered! Transplanting large babes...?

Hey guys,
I recently discovered my plot has been found by potential rippers. I got about 10 in that one plot and my babes are 5-8 feet tall. I've put a lot of hard work into these things this year and don't want to lose them. My question is, can I still transplant these things to a new location or are they too big? If I do transplant them will it hurt the plant to the point of destroying or severely hindering bud production? Anyone have advice or tips in transplanting something that big?

All opinions and/or advice is greatly appreciated! Help a fellow RIU'er in need!

Bump! Anyone else got experience or advice in tackling this situation? ANY thoughts, stories, advice, opinions will help and is appreciated!

if there in the grounf its harder but just get as many roots as you can and try to be as carefull and dont stress it to much and it will work ive done it

you can either try and remove them or loose them too rippers...i would move them
