Killed my first chipmunk

[Van Chocstraw]

Now 49, then 48, then 47 until they are gone. That was the only one on my lawn. If they want to live in the woods, no problem.

Trap and release is about as effective as moving water from one side of the boat to the other side of the boat.

Dear Darling Wussy,

If you ever hear of such a case, I'd like to know.

[Joe]

Would be interesting to see, but only from a method standpoint. Wouldn't wish it on anyone, though.

Going to go eat my animal-based breakfast now.

[Van Chocstraw]

A chipmunk is just a rat with a different wardrobe.

Oh, that's a shame...now you won't be able to have the head mounted so you can display it as tangible proof of your machismo and hunting prowess.

[dadiOH]

Happens all the time with Florida alligators.

And humans are just chimpanzees who have learned to live inside.

Releasing within 5 miles buys you about 2 days. Over 10 miles (technically illegal) with a river or two between is more effective.

It's a shame that many humans act like apes.

And in a couple weeks, the folks other side of the river notice the increase in population. And then they start a trap and release program, on the other side of the river.

So how did you cook it? Was it any good? ;-)

As the man said in Jaws, "...need a bigger boat" :-)

You don't need to go that far with chipmunks. A few hundred yards should be ample if you use a very large slingshot.

I have a government school education. Mind you, it was back before all of this "teach yourself math" and "self-esteem" bull.

I had no qualms about dispatching an injured bird that I found struggling on my patio. Admittedly, I had to cover it up with a newspaper before smashing it with a shovel, and I cried like a baby afterward, but I was able to manage it.

Ordinarily I leave that sort of thing to my husband, but he was out of town.

Rivers are 100% effective in other ways, too. Bags + rocks = 100 success rates.

I have ceased war with the chipmunks in my location. There are just too many, and my land abuts public land where they breed like rats. I am going to make some more effective traps to lessen the numbers, but when you get rid of some others just move in. I have more problems from the big rock squirrels we have here.

I like a 5 bucket with 6inches of water- buried in the ground, cover on. 1 1/2" hole in cover- peanut butter schmeared under cover. Empty as necessary. I've gotten 5-6 overnight.

So how's that propane experiment going? You're still typing. . .

Van Chocstraw is the reason for H1N1. He needs to be thrown into a swine flu trap where chipmunks can gnaw him to death.

I don't see why not. "People Eating Tasty Animals" already know to cut off the head, gut and skin it. Soak overnight in salt water. Flour, season and fry the next day.

I wouldn't save the trail mix that was left over.
