I usually have tons of them running around my yard/neighborhood. Haven't seen a single one this year. Tons of other people have told me the same thing around the state. Seems there was a big die off or something.

Anyone else notice this as well?

Consider yourself lucky. A family member in Fairfield still has them and is cursing the damage they are doing. Jay

Since our outdoor cat passed several years ago, we have had 1 chipmunk living under the garage. I've seen him 6 or 8 times so far this year. Along with 1 rabbit and several squirrels.

We've seen them around. Not a lot.

I have seen them. They do seem down, but the Hawk population seems up, so I am guess the two have something to do with each other.

Once the hawks move on, I tend to see the chipmunks more again.

Plenty of chipmunks, squirrels, skunks and in the winter mice running around here. Last year was a rodent jackpot. Hopefully this coming season will not follow the past.

I think most of the chip monks moved to other states to save on taxes and/or COL.

Texas offered them a "find one get one" incentive on acorns.

Florida offered no corporate income tax for six years, provided they produce another 500 chip monks during that time.

North Carolina offered a rebate on all chip monks deaths due to cats and/or cars.

I don't see how CT can compete with those offers. Democrats will never learn.

Come over to my house. We've got a bumper crop of them. They are all over the place.

Maybe they went South. We have at least one in our garden. I love chipmunks. My elderly cat used to love them too!
