If I'm after chipmonks with stick an string, I try to have my .45 long colt along as backup. Those things can be vicious!  :thumbsup:    :biglaugh:    :archer2:

Congrats. I have always left them alone but my home grown chipmonks are digging under my pavers and are going to experience a chipmonk genocide in the coming weeks. Keep after the squirrels, tasty practice.
