How far can a chipmunk travel?

I just caught one and I want to drop him off somewhere else so it stops destroying my landscaping. How far you gotta take one of these so it can’t find its way back? I’m not driving it all the way to the hospital to give to @SpeedyE.

 

Depends on what load you shoot it with.

.22, not very far.

.50, parts of it will reach low earth orbit.

 

Whoa man, the 'munk has rights, man. Who are you, man, to tell the 'munk where it (can't judge it's preferred pronoun without asking it) can live.

You're in the process of chipmunk gentrification and holocaust. PETA, PC Principle and antifa will be along in no time to check your privilege, man.

Animal rights and legalize the pot, man!

 

Choot'em

 

I’m sure a mile or two would take care of it. Coons, they say need relocated at least ten miles.

 

Kentucky, they don't swim.

 

I've been told that squirrels need to be moved about 10 miles, or they will make their way back.

 

Fuck all this negativity..... get two more and teach them to sing and then make millions.

 

How long is the digestive tract of a dog?

 

If you think you only have one.... be prepared for more relocation attempts.

 

I punted one 73 yards once. Have no idea if it came back.

 

Not sure on the squirrel. I “relocated” a nuisance stray cat to a large natural area where it could play with friendly coyotes, badgers, foxes 26 miles away a few years ago. The damned thing showed back up about 2 months later.

 

The wife says we can't kill them and i think it would be a felony to discharge a firearm here anyway. Got one and took him to the nature preserve at the end of the road. Maybe i'll start tagging them with marking paint so i know if they come back. Got a cage trap so maybe i'll catch something interesting while i'm at it.

I'm not training them unless someone buys me a baby pool, remote control boat and some little water skis.

 

Imma get the next one high before i set him loose. Maybe i'll load up the trap with all the best snacks and see if it gets the munchies.

 

About 6 feet when Marley(my lab mix) catches one a flips it through the air while shaking it.

 

Laiden or unlaiden? Is it an African chipmunk?

 

wife won't let me kill 'em, so i live trap them and move them 2 miles form the house.

"so far", none of them has come back.

 

It obviously depends somewhat on the height of the trebuchet, but given a large enough counterweight, I would say that low earth orbit should be attainable.

 

When I was a kid, the old guy next door used to trap them and then drown them in a bucket of water. I thought that was pretty harsh.

 

My wife has been giving them all free swimming lessons... so far none have learned to swim.
