[John Marshall]

Are they legal to shoot?

I just got my new chipmunk rig. I can't wait to get out there and get some real monsters

You mean something for this little thing?

A Crosman 2289 maybe.

What does a big Boar Chipmunk dress out at? Any recipes?

 

[Chip]

Take Chipmunk. Place on stick. Insert into fire. Eat.

Do Eastern Fox Squirells/Rats count?

what a trophy

 

[Mr. Twister]

I gotta a 3 footer that bounces around here. It makes the one pictured look puny. As luck would have it, everytime he presents himself the rifle is in another room.

When I do get him, he'll be rugged. Just a matter of time...

I don't hunt them, but I frequent areas where they are found. What setup do you guys recommend for "Chipmunk Defense"? Or should that be a separate thread?

 

[Chip]

.22LR, sharp knife, and nerves of steel.

What about zombie chipmunks? a third thread?

I think the new 450 Marlin would be good for this, just piont and shoot, and and use your boot to fill in the hole in the ground, and plant more grass seed.

Are we talking about the same animal? No Chipmunk grows to 3 feet! They never get as big as a squirrel!

 

[Woodsman]

We got some in our area that will attack deer hounds they're so big! Nothing less than a .30-06 with 180 grainers for these monsters!

I hope your not in Ontario because chipmonks are an illegal quarry down here.

 

[cereal83]

I went out looking for some monsters all day today. I saw a 7' tall one but I wasn't walking around with the .50 loaded, once I loaded it, he was gone like the wind. Tomorrow, I am going out again. I set out bait and hopefully that attracts some more in for tomorrow.

"Chipmunk Defense"

The biggest firearm that you can shoulder and fire without flinching. Being able to bounce a quarter at expected ranges with it, is also helpfull.

With whatever you use, knowing your limitations is key to success.


This is only speculation on my end... You see, I dont have Chipmunks running around my parts.





Just them pesky Squirrels.

Sorry. I shoulda quoted the post I was replying to:

What a trophy

I believe that this was a response to the pic I put up.

Most guides will not hunt with anyone using a smaller calibre than the .338 win. mag. I have a .300 but dont use a guide, and even then I feel a little nervous. With a 3-9 power scope on it, I can take longer shots (ie. up to 275 yards is my longest comfortable shot), however if I provoke a charge then I have some fast thinking to do. Terrifies me just thinking about it. I have not used a guide and also have not harvested one of these magnificent beasts. Im not sure but I think there is a DVD coming out called "Brown Death", kind of the Black Death take off series.
