yep....what lokidog said.....are you sure you want that pic up regarding the chipmunks?

but i thought it says you can take them anytime if reason because of depredation. the farmer that let me hunt on his land because they break into his grain shed and is infesting his water purifying system thing in his field for his horses. i will talk to fish and game to just be safe. thanks

  I don't believe there are for protected/threatened species.

  I think the depredation deal just works for mainly crows.  Other species can be taken, but require a written permit from WDFW.

you can still hunt eastern grays and fox squirrels, in many places they have become a nuisance out west where they are not naturally found. Typically more in city limits is the only problem.

[h20hunter]

Yep...and Twitter.

Regardless of the fact the farmer wants 'em gone you may want to just keep it quiet. At times it may be better to ask for forgiveness instead of permission....probably not the best to do so with the WDFW.

[h20hunter]

We need a "best of" nomination....I'd vote for this one.

If the chipmunks were IN the grain shed, maybe, but not running around the trees outside.  Horses drink out of rivers and mud puddles, not sure how chipmunks would be "infesting" his water purifying system for horses?
