As I said in a previous post, I’ve shot north of 100 of these critters and they’ve always been clean, no fleas or ticks. This is the first time that I’ve seen a chipmunk covered with fleas and carrying a tick. I’ve never shot them during the spring or summer only in the fall. Is it common for chipmunks to carry fleas and ticks prior to the cold weather in the fall? (12yds, 831fps, 19ft/lbs. at target)
