I have been waiting for a long time to be able to kill something in my yard. I have been having some armadillo problems. They are putting their annoying little noses all over my yard. Tonight I went outside to check on the fire and I was startled by something moving around in the bushes. I looked around and found the armadillo moving around in there. My first thought was to go get my pellet gun, so I ran inside to get it. Then I realized that I didn't have any pellets. So I grabbed my bow! I had an old aluminum arrow at the back door. No broad head, but who needs them? So I went out on the hunt. I found the armadillo in the same spot as before. I drew back and shot. It was a clean hit. He died within seconds. That is the first animal that I have killed with my bow. I was very happy that it was for a good reason (it was ruining my yard).
It went right through the heart. Am I that good of a shot at night with a head lamp? - NOPE, I just got luck to hit it right there. I was aiming to hit and that was all.
If you have a problem with the following pictures, refer to page warning.
How do you like that hunting outfit!

Those kind of animals are okay to kill in the yard and any snake that might cause me to have a stroke; and while I am at it, any cat that likes to sit on my car, and any moles (good luck catching one of these) tearing up our yard; and finally on my list of "okay to kill in yard" - a THIEF or two.
hek yeah!
