armadillo on a stick!

Post by groundpounder »

I made it to the woods after work yesterday. Walking in I found an armadillo scurrying by. I didn't want to shoot him with one of my new Rage heads but swapped out to an arrow in my quiver with a G5 on it. Made the 20 yard shot perfect with a definite loud pop with the hit. The armadillos are definitely an invasive species around here and are getting more and more.
I didn't see anything while sitting but got up near dark and started walking a field. Walked right up on a decent buck. The field was lined with round bails and put one between me and the buck. Started working towards him and didn't see the 3 does to his right. One of the does busted me and started the blowing show. I really need to get a range finder! Just way too difficult to judge distances in an open field without one. I know they were in range but didn't want to guess the distance before they all ran off. I had fun with it though and now know where to sit next time.

Here's my armadillo

Hmmmm....shot looks a little far back :shock: I hope you left him overnight before deciding to trail him :lol:

The proper way to eat a 'dillo is to turn it upside down and lay it on a hot bed of mesquite coals. Leave it there for about 45 minutes. Then moving the singed belly hair away very carefully, cut a tiny slit in the stomach area. Insert a long straw such as those from Sonic Drive-Ins and bon appetit :shock:

If you ever saw one up close I seriously doubt you would want to eat it!

Just out of the picture is the base of a large oak. The arrow burried into the edge of a root at the base of the tree. :D

I never would have guessed that an animal with an armour shell is a carrier of leprosy :shock:
