Just the way my brain works, can't explain it, I just go with it. \:\)

I was wondering the other day if it was legal to kill a chipmunk.
I didn't see a season for them in the guide so I assume it would be illegal to kill one.
Just sitting there hunting the other day and thought it would be neat to have one mounted.

Legal or not?

Those are the loudest little rodents I have ever heard. Sounds like a dang herd of elephants coming through the woods.

You ever heard them "bark"? Sounds just like a turkey cluck to me.

Thank you sir.
Kinda figured that when I didn't see a season listed but wanted to check.

Not like I could kill one anyway, I have only seen like 4 in my whole life anyway. \:D

That would be a different situation than "hunting" on. Under TCA 70-4-115, a landowner may destroy wild animals causing him/her damage.

The statute has restrictions on big game animals (requires a permit), and federally protected animals would requyire a permit from the USFWS.

You would be well within the statute to deal with your chipmunks.
