Like I do?

Peanuts mixed with peanut butter ... I think the smell of the peanut butter is stronger than just peanuts, and unlike when they eat the nuts and move around, they sit perfectly still while they lick the pb.

Here's my bait set up (the white cloths are there for pass-throughs, and are piled thick. They will catch a full-on hit without a problem.

Unfortunately ,that's illegal where I live . Chippers are protected & can only be removed if nuisance ( like crows,when are they not nuisances?);). And baiting is a no no also.

I feed the birds and we have three clans of chipmunks that battle over the seeds. And fight and chase each other. The clan from my shed my neighbors shed and ones that come from under the fence. I spend all summer watching them work and gather seeds. I imaging a giant cave filled with seeds under my shed. They are more fun to watch than anything on TV these days.

It's like that old episode of south park. Uncle Jimbo's rule - " It's coming right for us, i'm in fear for my life!"

Last week a big hawk came out of nowhere and hit one standing on top of the bird feeder. Not a sound. Just a flash and it was over. I just looked up in time to see it flying away with the little chipmunk..

I've had that happen a couple times w/ pigeons that I popped off of different silos. One hit the ground & was plucked up before I got to it& one was taken as soon as it hit the ground on the other side of the barn & once w/ a dove I shot out( w/ .410 shotgun) of the sky as soon as it hit the ground :oops: !

We moved into current house 11 years ago. We had beautiful sable colored long haired dachshund named Morgan. She immediately went into munkin mode, chase locate on the tree and bark treed. Had to go out with BSA shorter and knock them out of tree for her. Stock split on that (anyone have replacement?) So Diana 34. .22 replacement really knocked em out. 63 first year, 54 second and 36 third year. Trouble tho she was going further out at neighbors, off our property looking for game. Never shot the squirrels so she wouldn't tree them. Hell on chucks and would fight a coon on the ground with no hesitation at 13 pounds looking like a show dog ,miss her alot. If I can figure out how to post pics I will. Her nickname was Mort, short for mortician.

In my EARLY teens, I would visit my grandpa and use his Benjamin 137 to take sparrows and starlings that came to raid his hunting dog's food bowl ... pests were eliminated and the dog got a snack. Even if the dog didn't see the bird when I shot, it knew where the pellet hit and would sprint right to the spot.
