Default Ninja Armadillo

I have 2 armadillo's that are tearing my yard, and landscaping to bits. Most armadillo's are so ignorant you can almost catch them with your hands.

These two are super aware, and highly sensitive of their surroundings. After doing great multitudes of research, I found that these are of the dreaded ninja armadillo bread.

Last nights full moon illuminated my yard most well. I happened to look out back, and saw one at work. I grabbed my device of shooting, and snuck out my side garage door. I focused on its chest area, and got a shot. After viewing the armadillo full size I could see I also had a rear focus area by its rear left leg.

This was the large one. I'm going to try my best to get a shot of the small one tonight if its clear.

I actually did use a special .22 sub sonic lens. It had 2 perfect focus areas.

I have neighbours pretty close by. Otherwise I'd use my special 12 gauge lens.


It's a bad thing to have too many expensive hobbies. There for a while I neglected my gun collecting due to buying camera gear. I've pretty much got my camera gear the way I need it, except for being in the market for a SB900 which I might order in the next couple weeks.

I've been able to add one rifle, and two handguns to my collection in the past 3 months, and the editor of the paper I shoot for called me last night asking if I wanted a shot gun her late husband owned. I was too happy about that. He was a cop that got killed in the line of duty a few years ago, so it's probably a pretty nice one. I'll find out next week.

Understanable if the special 12 gauge lens would wake the neighbours I imagine that the ultra effective uzi pest eliminator would be out of the question . I guess its a question of how much do we like the neighbours and how much do we hate the pest , *pondering *

I'm not concerned with my neighbours at all. It's my freedom that I want to hang onto. The law would frown on shooting of weapons within city limits, even after midnight.

I'll have to get in touch with Jim to see what method he uses.
