I have BIG chipmunks here that tore my feeder down. I'm afraid to put it back up!

Some years ago I had a heavy metal feeder chained to my deck because raccoons kept stealing it. Then one evening while I was in bed I hear what sounded like a bear’s heavy breathing coming down my drive. In the morning I told a family member that I thought I had heard a bear in the yard and they didn’t believe me because we had never had a bear in my part of town. But then I noticed feeder
had been crushed and twisted like a aluminum can. Most definitely a only bear could have done that.
Yes I used a humane one years ago, just put some peanut butter and nuts in it and caught a few field mice and released them in the woods, I can't kill anything even bugs....Please don't use those traps. They are cruel no matter what you are trying to catch. They have live traps you can use. Mice are living things and feel pain as much as any other animal.
