Go ahead and laugh but I kept my cool and made the kill without being killed or injured. While squirrel hunting this evening with my 10-22, I spotted an armadillo about a hundred yards ahead of me on the path that I was walking. I skillfullyeluded detection and quickly closed the gap to about thirty yards after which I used my superb shootingabilities and made a well placed lung shot. As expected the beast rolled onto its back and twitched three times before it took a lesson from its possum kin and played dead. I carefully waited enough time to make sure that he was trullyexpired before I approached him, a good 3 seconds. As soon as I moved closer to claim my trophy this brute got up and ran into the dense underbrush. At this point an unexperienced hunter might just walk away but this is Florida, the human population is constantly rising and the dillas encroach more and more into our home territorry. This creates a safety hazard for women and children. I risked life and limb and went after the creature and when I was about ten feet away he charged. Luckily I was able to keep my wits and I hit him three times and I stopped the charge with only inches to spare.
