OMG Dean....killing cute little chipmonks. When I was a kid, I used to bowhunt them with rubber blunt tips. No matter where you hit them, they would die from shock. I pulled off the tails and saved them in a envelope, like I did to keep track of the number of grouse I shot each year. I would pull one tail feather from each bird and put it in an envelope with the year marked on it. I stopped shooting the poor little chipmonks years ago. Now I feed them birdseed. I like to see them in the yard. Fill their little bellies with birdseed and they will probably not touch the roots. It's a better solution Dean
