    I have a two tier retaining wall along the driveway, two stone retaining walls by the lake and a stone wall shoreline, chipmunks must be taken out.

    Sota, come visit my place. Wife thought she heard a chippy this morning.

    Guess my bait box placement skills are lacking. She needs a PH to kill it.

    I got a box big enough for rats. Feed mill has bar bait. Been out for a month untouched.

    We have no chippies

    Between red squirrels/ blue Jay's, not sure which I hate more for the birds I like that nest close by.?

    The Robins, (usually) can gang up on a red and drive them away.
    Blue Jay's come in mass with a certain sound when they wanna go for it.
    I know it well.

    I could use a few bricks of .22 LR if anyone has extra.:biggrin:

    As a pat on the back, my shooting has really been great the past couple months.:cool:

    Just a Gutt feeling but thinking if Sota did recover SquirrelZilla,
    It would not be fit too mount?
    Bastard would most likely be ground up with a boot heel?

    Trust me, they WILL make you hate them!

    I love shooting reds and chipmunks right in their cute little face, love the head first shots. Die you cute rodents.
