Was peruseing the site when for the upteenth time the doggies got noisesome outside. After about the third trip to see what they were yowling about i finaly hear a lil rustle out in the leaves in front of the house. Figure it's the stinking dillos again or deer. Deer i don't mind but the dillers are starting to get on my nerves as we seem to of put the house in the middle of a colony of the stupid things.
Anyway i pick up the 9mm and the light and go lurking about in the dark. Every lil bit i can hear 'shhhsh shhhsh shhhsh' of something moveing in the leaves, but it's not constant.
Each time i hear it i get a lil closer. I know it's not a deer by now as im within about 15 yards of it. Then 10, but still no sighitng.
Finaly i get within about 5 yards, hear it and see a foot under the undergrowth canaopy. Diller!
Safety off and cock the 9 and put on the sneak, 'shhhsh shhhsh shhhsh', diller still unawares even though ive got a 6 million candle power spot on his armoured lil arse!(No one ever said they was smart, just annoying!)
I ease on around the tree untill im about 10 feet away and watch him/her/it dig in the leaves a bit. I kinda hate to do it but im tired of half a dozen lurking around the house every night stirring up the dogs, digging holes hither n yon throughout my woods and their a non-native invasive species to boot. Nuff Said, eh?
I line up on it's beady eyed lil head and BOOM! It stands up on it's hind legs and looks behind it where the bullet hit. Sum Beech, i missed? I crack another round at his tiny lil head and it jumps a bit and looks to the right, Missed again. This is for the birds!
I drop my sights half way down it's back and BOOM!
Dillo jumps about two feet straight up and takes off at warp speed. I hear the lil bugger flying through the leaves like it's hopped up on speed. Pretty soon i hear it circleing back, then it circles away, then back, then away again, then back towards me, then it stops. Lil bugger run two circles right in front of me then stopped.
I stand there a minute thinking how the he!! did i miss this time?? Then i hear a kick, then another. Ahh, i did'nt miss, but it's still alive.
So now it's a search n destroy mission. Great, i got shorts on, rubber boots(what a sight, eh?) and the dillers in the brush thats full of poison ivy!
So in i go, got to find n finish him as he/she/it's still kicking. Spend half my time looking for paths through the poison ivy and the other half listening for the odd kick and looking for a dillo that blends into the leaves pretty d@mn well.
Finaly i find the lil booger. It's laying there with a lil bitty hole through it's back and bigger one through it's belly. Pretty much dead but still kicking every so often.
I pull down on that tiny lil head one more time and BOOM! Chit, just clipped an ear! Man their heads is lil. I aim at the larger neck and put one through him and he jumps up in the air a couple of times, rolls over on his back and kicks one last time.
1 dillo down, 100 to go. But 5 shots for 1 dillo? Got to find the 22 mag rifle for the nect one.
Drag his scaley armoured smelly lil arse over by a tree so the girls can play with him in the morning then head back in the house.
It's 3:45 am and i figure i've woke up half the neighborhood. Oh well, thats liveing in the country...lol
Get in the house and both gals are still sleeping like the dead. Hmm, heavy sleepers or i was'nt as noisey as i thought. neighbors dogs seemed to think i was makeing noise.
Speaking of dogs all mine are just sitting there watching me. No whineing to get loose, no jumping nothing. Guess maybe they figured they was next if they annoyed me...lol
1 out of how many? We will see if i find 3 of them in my backyard tonight. Now where did i put that 22 mag rifle?
