Wow, what a great post!! Hard to believe you summond the courage to take on that beast by yourself with a HANDGUN NO LESS!!!! I am concerned though with the lack of bullet expansion.

But now you have a trophy of a lifetime, please post photos after you have the mount. Will you have it mounted on it's hind legs, or on all fours?

Again congratulations on a job well done.

Thanks, Larry!! I think I will have it mounted on all fours in an attacking pose -- to remind folks of the danger these animals pose to people and flower beds alike!

ROTFLMAO!

Glad you survived to tell the tale.

GREAT STORY!!!!!

I can't believe you got an exit wound on that beast! You must be shootin' some tuff bullets! The chipmunk is a fierce predator of all things....man and animal alike! There used to be a pride of lions in my woods 'til the munks ran'em out of town!!!!!

I have to again reiterate that I got lucky! I could have been killed and at the very least mauled! Have you seen the choppers on a full-grown chipmunk??

Don't expect to get your trophy back very soon. It'll take a team of top notch taxidermists a years worth of 12-hour days to stuff a monster like that!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON A SUPERB "FLOWER BED SAFARI!!"

Yup, he weighed almost a half-pound!! MONSTER!!

I'm hearing rumors there may be a video of the actual hunt of this terrifying beast. As I understand it though, the whole event was so utterly terrifying , the videographer suffered a nervous breakdown.

AR has commissioned, at a very low rate I might add, private investigators to scour the nervous hospitals along the eastern seaboard searching for this fellow. Once located, we will negotiate aggressively to secure the rights to this footage that it may be brought out for all the world to see.

There's some truth to that rumor. I am trying to lure the videographer out of his self-imposed isolation. He suffered a complete chipmunk induced breakdown - PTSD.......

Use enough gun for heavens sake!!!!
