That reminds me of my favorite way to deal with chipmunks, which are pretty tame in the BWCA.

You put a canoe paddle over a log, and put a dab of peanut butter in the center , about 4 inches from the end of the blade. Get on the other end of the paddle, and hang onto the grip with the blade on the ground. Chipmunks can smell PB from a mile away, and come running, and run right up to eat the nummy peanut butter. Push the handle down briskly, and you've got a flying chipmunk! He hits the ground running, and stays away from your camp for quite awhile.
