Chipmunks are feisty little furballs! I found Hunter Kira (pictured below with red squirrel) playing with one, and it made the mistake of biting her on the nose. She retaliated by chomping down on its head!
Most of the time, the chipmunks are much cleverer, hopping around as if they are dying before getting just far enough away to dart into a hole. Twinkle Toes (RIP) eventually caught on and became the chipmunk slayer, but neither cat liked to eat them. They both prefer(ed) voles, for whatever reason.
But yes, something in the air this Spring (hopefully not bird flu). Something, presumably a coyote, stole last season's stag head, and the grey squirrels began raiding my chicken coop a few days ago. I shot one so far. No trash pandas yet this year, but after shooting ten last year, I think they may have gotten the hint.
Kaja! I have missed you!
And I think it's only fitting to bite back when bitten, and Hunter Kira appears to be a professional lol!
It's always mystified me a bit how the cats have their snack preferences, I would much rather eat a squirrel or chipmunk than a vole, but then again I am probably being speciesist.
Kaja The Trash Panda Annihilator has a lovely ring to it, they probably have lore about you now 😆
I'm going to channel some of your energy this fall when I am out hunting and attempting to take my very first deer. I mean, since I am moving to the wilds, it seems only fitting to return to my feral roots, and even though I have helped gut, skin, and process many deer, I have never got one of my own, because I was never allowed to hunt, only ride and walk along. That's going to change.
!BBH
!PIZZA
You've never gotten a deer and you want to change that? Same as my mum! We just need to find the proper tool, and while this probably isn't, it makes for a cool picture:
Oh, by the way, check your Substack messenger. I sent you something about three weeks ago.
Definitely cool😊
And I’m off to Substack!
