chipmunk hunting
 

what is a good pellet or bb gun to hunt chipmunks with? I have a crosman m-16 looking thingthat will go through a can.

Also is there a season for chipmunk hunting?

stupid as it sounds.....chipmonks r actually protected here in PA

RE: chipmunk hunting
 

not much to eat there,must take a lot to make a meal.

RE: chipmunk hunting
 

just about anything crosman makes will do fine. DONT BUY THE SPRING LOADED PISTOL! other than that if it throws the lead pellet it will kill the little rascal.

I hear those chipmunks can be hard to kill and quite dangerous when wounded. I'd suggest a 30.06 or 7MM Magnun.

They annoy me while I bowhunt so population contol is a must.:D

RE: chipmunk hunting

Do you stand or still hunt?Also is baiting legal?

RE: chipmunk hunting
 

All right guys, leave my Chipmonks alone.
OtherwiseI'll tell them to attack and nibble your ankles to pieces.
:D[8D]


Chipmonks, along with Chickadees are my only safe-from-harms animals.
Too small to eat, and have always made good companions and early warning devices for all of my hunting. I always leave a small pile of seeds for the ones living near my regular stand when I am done for the day.

You like those early warning devices too? They've helped me lots of times.

Story to tell;

Several years ago, I was taking my young step-son out with me to do some late season scouting. It was right after the close of archery season here in PA, mid November.

He was 11 years old and eager to learn all he could about hunting.

We were watching an apple tree that still had a few apples clinging on it.

As we were waiting, I heard a couple chick-a-dees sounding their alarm call. I explained to my step-son to always listen for that sound when hunting. When you hear it it means that bird sees something and is sounding the alarm. I told him to keep an eye in that direction. W

Within a few minutes, out strolled a medium sized black bear.

Needless to say, he learned a valuabletip that day.

that would freak me out if bears came to where i was deer hunting. But Ive killed a chipmunk with my Tippman model 98 custom paintball gun before. it was kinda of an accident because it was just standing there and my buddy knowing im a hunter said why dont I shoot it and Ijust for fun I sent a couple paintballs over at it and when I went to look at it it was there dead as a doornail. a paintball must have hit it in the head and killed it as for as I can guess.. (ohh yea that was all skill and no luck by the way;))

RE: chipmunk hunting
 

When I was learning my father taught me a few of the things he learned from his uncle, among other things, the early warning thing. Just like the Chickadees, I havemore than afew Chipmonks around my stand. Usually not long after sunrise they are already ignoring me, but anything that comes near has them scrambling and chriping away.

Also, if you want to know how good you are at sitting still and not being noticed or thought of as a threat, the closer the Chickadees and Chipmonks get to you, the better you are doing. I can usually get them eating seeds off the toe of my boot when it's not too cold to keep completely still.

Judo point!! on the way to a evening sit. shot many

What about when they hop up on your leg and start eating out of your cup of trailmix? I was sitting on a rock one day, eating my cup oftrailmix, studying the lake out infront of me, when I feel something weighing down on my hand... I looked down, and sure enough there was a chipmunk in my cup... thelittle bugger was eating the peanuts and raisins and whatnot... I just stared at it and thought to myself 'you've got to be kidding me...nobody messes with my trailmix...'

When we were younger, my brothers and I would find a Y-shaped branch,cut it, take a big rubber band, break it and tape an end onto each of the two prongs, then make a pouch out of a strip of duct tape,and hunt the local chipmunks... I must say, those homemade slingshots worked quite well, and were a bane to many a neighborhood chipmunk and chickadee back in the day. I remember shooting them with an old fiberglass Ben Pearson longbow (which is actually 3 feet from me now, leaning against the wall) which I found in my grandmother's basement... I was actually pretty good with that thing... But I've left the chipmunks alone for some time now, left them to their little games, and moved onto bigger things...

try this link http://www.airgunsbbguns.com/Quest_1000_177_p/croc1k77.htmit is a .177 1000fps breakbarrel for $85. i recently shot one about 2 months ago w/ my Crosman 760 with pointed pellets. i was sitting about 1 foot from a woodpile and he kept sticking his head out and finally showed it's body and it was about 2 inches from the muzzle and i pulled the trigger. he spazzed and dropped right where i shot him

I'm pretty proud - I got 2 for two last weekend . With my bow ! Pics are in 35mm . Thats probably the best shooting I've done .

RE: chipmunk hunting
 

how about darts??

chipmunks can you hunt them in Colorado or catch and keep them i can't find any information on that please help i want to know. if i can hunt or keep them thanks.

I don't know about chipmunks, but the next time a squirrel comes into my yard when practicing with my bowfishing bow things are going to get fun :D

Chipmunks? Really? I wouldn't think it would be much. Crossman makes a few CO2 and Pump pistols that I would suggest. Matched with some good pellets they should work. Blow guns also work well.
