It's a beautiful afternoon and I decided to go out back (I am home today), pull up a chair, put my feet up, and do a little reading. Of course I brought the .22 with me just in case. So, I'm reading, and I hear something below me, and low and behold, there's a chipmunk nearly undreneath my chair. He then crawls under the barbeque, giving me a chance to put the book down, cock the revolever and stand up in the ready. He then pops his head out and I let one rip. There's a blood and comotion under the barbeque. I cock it again, and roll the barbeque back, and the 'munk is deader than a door nail. Looks like the bullet entered the head, and exited, bounced off the bricks and it unzipped the animal front to rear......

Where have all the chipmunks gone?? Either I have wiped all of them out, or they're already holed up for the winter.......

Chipmunks are very active this time of year so...........CONGRADULATIONS!

Thank you!! But I'm not seeing them anywhere in the neighborhood......maybe word has spread........

I had to work on a Saturday

But I get to shoot a gun at work

I'll clean up this jobsite yet

Haha! Way to go, Dan! You are taking over where I left off! I haven't seen a single chipmunk in more than a week, and I am keeping an eye out for them. Good job, Dan, keep it coming!

Wait till I try that 44!!

Won't be able to photograph much

Dan

If I didn't live in suburbia, I would use one of my .44s too!! Looking forward to hearing all about it, Dan!

After a couple of chipmunk-free weeks, I spotted one in the yard this morning! I grabbed my revolver and shoes, and low crawled to the back door (hey, they spot me when I move behind the big window sometimes!). I eased it opened, leveled my Smith & Wesson, and waited for a shot to present itself. No such luck as he bugged out. So, I sat in a chair outside and waited when I saw another one, but he didn't come into range. Well, I got a phone call and had to go inside. When I came back, I sat and waited and low and behold, he came back. I rushed my shot a bit and caught him a little too far back and he took off running to my left. I snap shot at him and caught him in the head -- DRT! Not even a twitch.......Dang, I'm getting good at this!

One of my chippers brought his big brother today....

Too bad.....




The battle continues.....


Dan

Good job, Dan! We will rid the world of rodents one at a time!

On Sunday I was at bfrshooter's setting tree stands up for deer season, and I was wandering the forrest on his property when I saw a chipmunk. I drew down on him with my .475 Linebaugh and waited for him to come out of his hole. He didn't. Lucky chipmunk........

Indeed I did!! They're staying away from here now........
