When I bought my farm here 28 years ago and cut my driveway through the woods I had a couple of chipmunks that I saw everyday. Haven't seen one in 15 years or more. Riding 4 wheelers with my daughter a couple of weeks ago I saw one cross the path over a mile from our house.

Rented a house in Sevierville Tennessee over Easter. Chipmunks everywhere, in and out of holes. Looked like a game of whack a mole. Wish I had taken a couple of live traps and relocated a few back here at home. Before you self appointed game wardens preach the rules, rest assured that I trapped nothing. I would like to see them make a comeback in our area but not going to happen without assistance.

You never know...what nature will do

Love/Hate them. Fun to watch but can really do damage to buildings/vehicles.

Do you have a cat? They pretty well take care of chipmunks.

I have no idea why you would want those destructive critters around your property.

I kill chippy every time I see them ,they are destroyed and chew thru everything that taste good To them.

Fun to watch.

We have some here. They provide a bit of entertainment when things are slow in the deer stand. Not so many around that they cause a problem.

When I was a kid , my grandfather made a box trap ..I would catch them with peanut butter as bait ...
Then keep them in a bird cage for a while ..till I got bit one day .. :-)

Do you have fishers in your area? They cleaned out my woods a few years ago and I'm just starting to see a comeback on squirrels and such.

The chipmunk became protected in my area years ago. That's too bad. Many a young lad or lady built woodsmanship skills hunting them. We wore full camo and sported bb guns, pellet and .22. Dad would give a nickle for each tail. If enough were taken we could buy more ammo for next time.

I got loads of the little buggers around here. Its tough to get to the main road without running one over lol

That's cool....first part
