great shootin'.....we call that possum on the half shell...ha! did they jump straight up when the pellet hit them?...c'mon give us the whole hunting story with ballistics....

Armadillo meat is very good, a little like.....chicken lol. I was able to try some on a trip to argentina a couple years back, it was flame grilled and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. Clean not too gamey meat.

Nice shootin on the armored critters Dave, always wanted to try the meat also. Sure wish we had some of em around here, would love to add it to my harvest and cooking list. Ed

Wow....two armadillos in a couple of days....you`re a great shot and hunter with that Discovery. I have never seen a live armadillo in my life.

I killed them both at night without a light. The first one was from about 70' and I hit him in the eye. He just collapsed dead! The second one I hit at night again in the shoulder area. He jumped about 2' in the air took 2 steps and dropped dead. I used diablo hunters on both. I'm going to put a cope on next as soon a I can find an inexpensive 3x9 40 ao, I don't think I have to worry about getting one for an air gun since the disco has NO vibration or kick. I would like to find a new stock ( longer) for the disco at least an inch to help with the eye relief and my hold placement, I tried an old tacedge scope I had around and didn't like the hold feel when I got the eye relief where I needed it. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Same here Stanley,,, I have never seen one alive,(Seen LOTS of em roadkill!!). Kinda like my Buddy T-Cups says:::: Why did the chicken cross the road?????? Just to show the posum/armadillo it CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!! He He!! Tim.

At least you`ve seen one of them....dead or alive. I don`t think there`s a chance of them coming into Canada...too cold....unless they escaped from a zoo or someone snuck one into the country and it escaped.
