Favorite armadillo getter

saw my very first one last month
22LR did the job
going away shot, went in high at the rear, no exit

.22 LR hollow point. Used to head shoot 'em. Hated having to shovel up the nasty critters and haul 'em off. Now I just gut shoot 'em and they all run off in the woods somewhere and expire.
 
Expansion is key to a quick kill. Ive hit one with 7.62x39 fmj and was suprised it warranted a followup shot. Ive also hit one with winchester silver tip 223, and it was flipping a switch. By time my eyes adjusted from the flash it was motionless.

Its getting harder and harder to find at all and its now premium prices but for pigs and armadillos I like to use steel case HP 7.62X39
