Seems like the chipmunk population has dramatically increased this year. Its time for me to put on my Bill Murray cap and go after those varments
Start breeding cats.

Default Chipmunk?

We have seen zero chipmunks or squirrels since last year mid-summer. Very odd. Granted, a number of squirrels met their maker with a pellet gun. They're very destructive pests if they get into things. But not the chipmunks. They simply vanished.

Does Mink Islander have a mink on his island? I think they like to eat chipmunks and squirrels.

There's one that frequents my dock in the winter. I've seen it a few times and ample tracks in the snow. I usually find a huge pile of mussel shells beside one of the cribs in the spring as evidence that it was snacking there.

No shortage of chipmunks at my house. My cat keeps bringing us her "trophies" for all of us to enjoy. If she keeps up her current pace, I fear that we may be down to a couple hundred surviving chipmunks.
