I've shot great multitudes of armadillos. Worst thing that ever happened in the past was them going in the culvert pipe to die under my driveway. I made a armadillo hook for this very reason.
Went out on my screened in patio last night around 1:30 and saw the dreaded beast. Went back in the house to fetch my trusty armadillo gun and snuck out my side garage door to do battle.
It was gone, so I walked around a little and spied it in the ditch by the road. I had to move branches out of my way to get a good shot. I usually shoot them in their behind so they'll run off somewhere to die, but this one was far enough away for what I thought would be a kill shot.
Got a good hit on it, and it charge right at me. Those things are lightning fast. I don't know if it was coming after me or trying to get under my shed that was behind me. It ran right between my legs and slammed against my right shin with mass force!
I looked down and it had sprayed my right leg from the knee down with mass blood. Ran in the garage where I always keep paper towels and alcohol and scrubbed the **** out of my leg. Now I'm worried about getting leprosy from it's blood getting on my scarped leg.
Wash it in multitudes with alcohol, then with hot water and soap and bandaged it with mass anti infection stuff. Just hope for the best now.
I'll wear boots next time.
Lucky it died right by the edge of my shed so it was easy to remove. Carried it in a shovel across the street and left it for the buzzards.
My shooting spot.
Where the hit took place.
From the dreaded attack!
Aftermath.
Special armadillo weapon.
