Wow I didn’t realize armadillos are now as far north as Nebraska
Thanksgiving is coming so anyone have any favorite recipes?

Re: Best ammo for armadillos
Traps are the only 100% safe bet (legally) in most cities but I will say I own a bunch of old long barreled .22 bolt guns and there is zero chance of anyone calling the police on the report of a single round of CCI .22 Quiets or CB Shorts or Longs. The report is quieter than most other normal sounds folks make around their houses.Diver43 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 11:13 pm.22 quiets out of a bolt gun are not that loud.. one shot does not get a response.

I have a couple whistlepigs living under my deck. Living in the city has some major limitations when it comes to being able to take care of nuisance critters. A .22 would be good medicine, but im not risking getting caught. Probably try to rip the deck out this year and then figure out what to do with the buggers.

I may have dispatched a grey squirrel with .22 mag birdshot in a residential area way over a decade ago, nobody in the neighborhood was aware, and my neighbors are all gun folks

Standard velocity + LONG barrel = very quiet 22LR
I've shot my 28"CZ off the back deck and the wife didn't notice. AAMOF, she asked why I didn't shoot.
NOT silencer quiet, but less noise than my spring powered pellet rifle

Stepped outside the camper to piss. From under my truck pops an armadillo. We surprised each other. I ran and grabbed my .22. Fired once and missed. Proceeded to chase him through knee high grass in my skivies and crocs. Never did get him

Will that escapade become a fb video?
Re: Best ammo for armadillos
Lots of nosey neighbors that like to cause problems for people in the neighborhood. Im honestly surprised I have not gotten an ordinance violation for the camper being in the driveway yet.Wambli Ska wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 4:23 pm
