Ouch. We had a woodchuck under our shed as well, which I managed to live trap and relocate. I’m not having much luck in live trapping the chipmunks. How did Mike do it?

Two traps, small animal, double sided. Peanut butter for bait. Store brand PB, apparently chippers don’t have a discriminating palate. Forgive the pictures they’ve been stored outside all winter.

Be warned. He also caught two baby skunks. He released them back into the yard. We didn’t need an angry skunk momma gunning for us too.

That is the same set up that I have tried. Unfortunately, the regular gray squirrels go in there, clean off the peanut butter, and they are too big to get caught in the little trap.

I to have traps a skunk, although it was an adult. It was a little anxiety provoking coming up from behind to open the trap and release it.

Great view :thumbs: I had never heard of Yankee Candles but when I googled I realised their products are sold everywhere here in Sweden too :rolleyes:

It’s not even the first day of summer and we’re already getting ready for winter. Firewood was delivered today. The pile is daunting And my body unforgiving.

This is what I accomplished today. I am not looking forward to tomorrow.
