chipmunks attacking garden and diggine everywhere , job for Leshiy

Well Colleen and I been working hard in garden , everything is growing well but we are being attacked by chipmunks and they eating plants as they small we have replanted now 3 times , I put up plates and scare crows nothing worked I tried putting seven on plants , nope it was like salt and pepper for them ,, Titus tried to chase a few but he is getting old now he is like almost 13 ,

OK so I shot like 6 of them with my leshiy and my Swarovski V8I scope ,I use the amber dot and run it at either 2.3x or 4x ,but with so much green and rock walls they quick and blend in , I said ok , and titus and I got out my ATN 5-50 HD Thermal , I set gun to 820fps with 18gr JSB , I set my zero around 35 yards , and chose a nice Reticle I made reticle Red and set my color to Black Hot , and I put it at 5x , I started this last night , so they are black and stand out and if you shoot them you can see hits and see where they are , so much easier then spotting them with a scope .



well once I set it up , I was hitting spinners at 35 yd and a 1 in steel at 15 yd I even held over and shot 90 yards at a 3 inch hand warmer . as they are good targets for thermal .

OK so last night I woke up 2 am and got 11 of them and today I got 7 more , Here is Titus he has been scouring for his snacks , Here is Titus he came up stairs and barked to colleen to cook these , LOL he carry's them up the stairs 2 at a time He likes them fried and he like the Larue Rub they sent me on them it must be like Cagun chipunks

Nice Lou, you certainly have a lot of great glass to choose from for every special occasion. That rig there, the Leshiy with the ATN, mounted on the tripod just looks so cool! 18 chipmunks within 24 hours, holy smokes, that's an infestation! Not anymore though!!! Lol

Oh my gosh, Titus with two in his mouth at a time, wanting you guys to cook up some Cajun flavored chipmunks! You had me on the floor laughing at that one. Classic Lou, classic!

Have a great weekend!

YO I got the thermal at SWFA during a big sale , I got my swarovski V8i where I get alot of my hi end stuff ,, from gun broker , I got a few Schmidt benders there and other gear their , I also use CS Tactical for ZCO scopes and I found Liberty Optics very good place for deals on hi end scopes as well .

as far as service , I use factory to service my optics and I had wonderful luck with SB , IOR , vortex , ATN , stiener , all gave me great service ,

I have to say only 1 scope manufacture was I unhappy with service , that would be US- optics , I sent a 2 mo old B=25 as it had something like an ocular cover or bushing fall apart and block half the lens , well they had it over 4 mo and worked but thy reassembled turret wrong I had to disassemble it and reassemble it ,
 
Yes Titus is battle hardened and has no fear , Yesterday he was in Lowes and jumped out of shopping cart and ran up to a pit bull to fight , Last year While in New Mexico ,We went to visit Hunters supply the largest slug maker in world , Titus saw his horses and took off and grabbed one by his leg and tried to do the Titus shake ,

This is Titus way to fight to the death he grabs his opponentt and chomps down and crushes bones and shakes his head , he has defeated many enemies with his Titus shake , But he found out rather quick , a 2500 pound horse cant be killed by his titus shake , and the horse kicked him like a football , well he went back for round 2 , He is trained to battle to the death , good thing colleen stepped in ,

here is titus with his other battle kills
