How does the chipmunk effect you while on stand?

Post by Moxie »

We all know that sitting in a stand, at times, can be very boring; yet, then comes the Speedy Gonzales of the forest floor, the Chipmunk! They are very busy beavers, so to speak. There is their food supply to get in and getting it accomplished. They move from one place to another with the speed of an Indy racer, pack their cheeks and zing, they are off to their storage locker. I've watch them tear across an area then come to a screeching stop under some leaves. Then their heads pop up and down through the leaves, as they look around, while filling their cheeks. Then again, they are off to the storage locker. It can be priceless entertainment which can bring a smile to you face.

They are remorseless eating machines and funny to watch. Red squirrels seen just as busy, if not more. I guess you would have a huge appetite with all those calories burned.

It doesn't!

There are no chipmunks in this part of Eastern Carolina. :D

More's the pity. I kind of like the little fellows.

They irritate me to no end! They will sound like a deer a long way off when they are right under me. They alarm cry at every slight movement I make. And they keep the hawks busy also!

Had 5 gray squirrels and 2 chipmunks at the feeder this morning. The chipmunks would zoom through while the squirrels were eating and cause total panic. At least it's entertainment when there's no deer activity. :roll:

I have a love hate relationship with them. I love watching them and hate it when they convince me a deer is coming and my eyes are to the point of bleeding to find it. And when your convince the other way when you have a deer coming and think its a squirrel. It passes the time.

I had one climb up my stand jump on my shoulder. And then walk down my stand and sit on the foot rail of my crossbow lol. I just prayed that a deer didnt walk out.

I enjoy them. We have more Squirrels here though. At the beginning of the Season they would bark and Harass me but as the season wore on, they became my friends and would come in the same tree with me only a few feet away.

I always enjoy seeing other wildlife while out in the Woods.
