Speaking of armadillos...
My dogs were barking this morning at around 4am. Took a flashlight and a handgun outside to see if any 2-legged predators needed killin', but it turned out that it was an armadillo digging up my front yard and then trying to dig under the fence. I went back inside and swapped out handguns to something a bit more pest appropriate -- a long barrel .357 mag with VERY low powered handloads in it. I've got it loaded with 158 gr LRN bullets that are only traveling at 350 fps. Walked back outside, stood over him so that I'm shooting down at about a 60-75 degree angle and put one round through his body. He's still moving / twitching and would be difficult to scoop up with a shovel, so I backed off a few feet and changed my angle so that the next round entered right above the tail and then went lengthwise through the body. Well, that resulted in no more movement. Grabbed the square point shovel from the garage, scooped him up, took him to my rear fence (which borders a greenspace) and used the shovel to catapult him over the fence and down the slope towards the lake / water retention reservoir / whatever it is supposed to be called. The buzzards and fire ants will have it cleaned up in a few days. End result -- dogs shut up, I went back to sleep, no neighbors were awoken (or at least they didn't call the cops).
