Chipmunk Hunt---Head count 45!!!

Fond du lac.... wisconsin??

I'm actually on the south shore of Lake Geneva, seems there is a few people near me from this board.

I don't have a current picture of my S1K, but right now it is all stock with leapers high rings and a Barska 3-12x50 scope. I grab a pic tonight.

Here is some trespassers from last year. I guess they can't read my 'NO TRESPASSING' sign?

I've only seen 2 on my property this year, last year we were infested. My neighbors still have issues with them though.

Great pics Tony :)

Last year I had 1 or 2 chippers running around my yard but they didn't bother me so I didn't bother them.  However,,,, this year the little buggers are running all over the place so I'm gonna have to do something about it.  I've noticed den holes dug all over the place, especially around my shed and rear deck.  

Only problem is I'm gonna have to "cull em" out when the wife and kids are away from the house as they think they're just the cutest little things and they'll go bonkers if they know I'm gonna eliminate them.

Looking forward to seeing the pic of your S1K.

Jeff,

Thanks!

I hear ya about the whole family situation. You might want to send them off to the mall or something and do a little backyard hunting. I'm sure there will still be some left over for them to 'enjoy', lol. Next month they will be out in full around here. All of my long range practice I've been doing in the woods will definitely help, but I think what will help the most is the trigger. By the time I'm done with the mile long pull, it is hard to keep it on target.

What kind of pellets are you gentlemen using? So far I've found the most accurate in my gun are the gamo rockets, but they are heavy and seem to be inconsistant as far as weight and roundness goes. I want to try the Beeman Crow Magnum next but I would love to hear what you guys are using for varmint control.

BTW the last picture is of the chipmunk that woke me up. You can tell I wasn't happy at all.

Hello Tony, Give the Tomahawk's or Predators a try. They work great in all my babies and all my airguns are hunters. They also work very well on larger game. Great shootin and pic's Tony. Ed

Ed is correct.   Those tomahawks and predators are great on game.  The tomahawks are pretty cheap price wise, while the predators are a bit pricey, but still well worth the money.  I usually use the predators during small game season on squirrels and such, but lately I've been using the tomahawks during my duck farm pest hunts and they've been taking down birds, squirrels, rabbits and even fat adult woodchucks with ease.  Give em a try, I think you'll like em.

Hey guys,My s1k really seems to like crow-magnums and jsb predators, but I've never tried the tomahawks--I've also used the crosman premiers from wal-mart, but they didn't seem to hit very hard and i was injuring game rather than making clean kills--the crowmags changed all that. I've had a great time with the gamo and the spring action, but i'm thinking about going to the dark side----very tempting with the accuracy and all the plusses that go with'em---anyone know much about the air force talon ss or any others----i like that the SS is shrouded and supposed to be a lot quieter than other pcp's---which will make a difference to my neighbors and nearby game.

c ya,

The tomahawks are absolutely fantastic on game, give em a try.  They are one of my favorite pellets, and cheap also.  

As for the dark side,,,,, never been there so can't make any informative comments in that dept.   Perhaps someday I'll know the power of the dark side, right now I'm stuck on springers.  Although I am going to be ordering a QB-78 soon, which I guess is sorta, kinda, the dark side?????

Hey L.I.H.

Cabelas sell's the Tomahawks, that's were I pick up mine and I get em all while I'm there..sold out hehe. Ed

[longislandhunter]

I usually order the tomahawks from  midsouth,,, they are usually the cheapest.  I go through alot of em so I usually order enough to keep me shootin for awhile.
