hopalong Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Laying in bed half asleep, Dog goes on "ALERT" !!!!! Get up look around and dog has spotted 1 "Yard digging sleep disturbing" Armadillo that has taken up residency under outbuilding. Have been seeing clues of said "diller" for some time now and intended to catch and relocate if possible. Said "diller" is quite the Hudinii and after the last 3 or 4 times of it getting back to its outbuilding it is now "gloves are OFF and unconventional, guerilla warfare at the utmost". Now said "diller" has decided to wake me up (again) and I have the "medicine" waiting for him in the gun safe.......1 model 94/22M Winchester. NO MORE "DILLER" TO WORRY ABOUT !!!!!!! .22 WMR is perfect "medicine" for "Yard digging, sleep disturbing Dillers" did the "Sniper" trick on that dude Hopalong Yes, Model 94 is a lever action rifle not a revolver, but it is old school enough !!!!

tightloop Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Did you add insult to injury and eat him after you stopped his digging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 TL. I quit eating "DILLER" when I left TX and the good female cooks that make those Great Tamlies.... HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 i assume since uspsa multi-gun rules allow for some experimentation, this would be an acceptable rifle target. OTOH, this might be a good slug target... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 It's nice to see that some people understand "what needs to be done". Others in our society just have this urge to go hug a tree. To each his own, but if I had the same problem your response seems perfectly correct to me. For some reason the racoon population has exploded in town recently. Probably the lack of pelt hunting / trapping but their feces are extremely dangerous to young children. Forgot the name of the disease that they carry but am close to a 124 grain gold dot solution. Glad things worked out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoonie Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Atta boy HOP! I hate them critters. It seems like they always show up while I'm deer hunting, giving me the big rush of expectation, followed by massive letdown and what's owrse is you can't even blast 'em since it would disturb the hunt!

pisgahrifle Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 No armadillos where I'm from- to cold and high, I reckon. Isn't it true that they carry leprosy though? I didn't think you could eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmist10 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yes, Model 94 is a lever action rifle not a revolver, but it is old school enough !!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What caliber, .22WMS? I have a 94 and a 92 (.25-35 and .25-20 respectively) you are forgiven for not using the revolver on a tough little critter like that. Didn't know TN had dillo's...only seen one dead in AR and he wasn't in good shape. Didn't stop us from wanting to pull over and check it out!
