Chipper #18 or no tomatoes for you!

[dk1677]

I found some chomped on tomatoes today and figured it was a chipper as the tree rats are busy with butternuts and apples, and sure enough this one showed up at about 30 yards . I loaded a Kodiak in the Disco ( as I thought it was about time to test it out ) and hit him just behind the left ear and it exited behind the right ear.

Nice shot on that little tomato thief Dave! 

Oh and congrats on the Disco's 1st kill.. under "new management"

Thanks Harry! Can't wait to try it on tree rats

I guess I will ask the foolish question here.
Are chipmunks even worth bothering with eating?
If so, are they any good?

Thanks Ed! oldpink I don't know about eating them, doesn't seem like there's much meat there

Good shooting on such a tiny target.  As for eating them, I've never tried them but I remember reading once that east coast American Indians used to eat them and found them to be very good.  I might just have to try a couple some time, I would imagine it would take 4 or 5 to make a meal

They make great possum bait, but the problem is that sometimes they grab them and run, before you can take a shot at them.  If the country rat visits regularly and is comfortable coming around, it will stay to consume the chipper, even in a well lit area, giving you time for a well place shot.  I think you need to take something bigger Dave, now that you have a Disco
