Skeptic guy doesn't believe a bullet will deflect directly off an armadillo, directly back into the shooter's face.

3 shots in the dark, armadillo not found, I wonder how they know what the ricochet really bounced off of?

You guys didn't really think this was the first guy to shoot an armadillo, did you?
Try a YouTube search on 'shooting armadillo'. Prepare to be amazed.
Here, I'll start you off.
Now, do I believe a bullet, even from a 22 is going to bounce directly, like a reflection from a mirror, backwards off an armadillo like that to hit somebody in the face?
I know the CBC would never lie, of course, however...

Yeah it's all a cbc left wing fake news conspiracy.
BTW if you pay attention you'll see the story came from Thomson Reuters

Oh, well it must be true then. Why should I believe common sense, the nature of reality and my lying eyes if it's a story from Reuters retold by the CBC.
I did notice whoever it is, he doesn't want to give you the "victim's" name. So it's a story Reuters said some Texas Sheriff told them about some anonymous guy, is it? Oh well...that makes all the difference then.

I think it must have ricocheted off a rock that was beside or under the critter. Regardless, it's a freak accident.

Actually, I killed one once with a VW Beetle. But this isn't a story about shooting armadillo! It's a story about idiots with guns. After you do your "shooting small armoured animal "search, try one entitled "idiots with guns."

Bingo. You just hit on the real reason Reuters and the CBC want to push this bogus claptrap story about a bullet reflecting off an armadillo like a reflection in a mirror.
It's not about armadillos. It's about hating/fearing guns.

LOL. A quick look up told me this happened 2 years ago. For reasons unknown the story is circulating again. Guess there's not enough "real news" going around.
Even funnier... we even had a thread about it on here.

NOooo...it's about idiots with guns. AND perhaps about limiting access of said idiots to guns. By the way, armadillos are a major pest AND a carrier of leprosy. So when you head to Texas for your annual armadillo hunt, forgo this years BBQ.
