I have fond memories of feeding peanuts to the chipmunks in Estes Park

Same, dude! Riding the tramway up the mountain and nearly getting swarmed by chipmunks lol.

My guys - you gotta not do that. Last year we were in RMNP and the chipmunks were fearless. Stop it

We did it in my youth too, but it only leads to bad news

Chipmunk stole my wallet for nut money last time I was there.

One beat up my toddler for looking at him funny

Yeah lol I understand fully that it wasn't in their best interest to feed them like that. This was back in the late 80s early 90s, at least for me. No doubt selective breeding of who nabbed the most peanuts led to the current situation in RMNP. All I can promise you is that it won't continue with my offspring.

You shouldn’t. That’s terrible for the wild animals and should never feed them again.

Plenty of better ways to make fond memories in a place like this
