Time.  Killed a bunch of it and nobody told me it was becoming extinct, LOL!

I broke up a raccoon fight once with a Snuffer. The bigger one had disembowled the smaller one.
The sounds that smaller one made during the battle were horrible(like a baby screaming almost).
Also, shot an armadillo once, talk about a weird looking thing, common down here, though.
I thought of another, a bufo toad, an invasive species here in south Florida. They get to be a couple pounds or more, no pic though.

Probably an armadillo for me. Last summer while stumping.

My favorite so far is the guy killing time... and not realizing it is becoming extinct.  Good one!

A coyote one time that walked around the bush I was standing behind and just stood there like "duh". Never moved til I shot him.

Ive killed a mess of gray squirrels since I was 10 or so and I cant ever recall killing one  that had coloration quite like this male. Shot him 2 seasons ago with my old Super Shrew.

One Time while shooting in my bud Glenbo's back yard, I missed his target, skipped the arrow off the stone wall behind the target and center punched a slug.

Glen and Casey witnessed the carnage   :readit:   Yep, that's what I meant to do   :rolleyes:    ;)
Relax,

I shot an igloo cooler several times,  once.   The first shot was by accident.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

I took this YETTI a couple years ago. I didn't make a clean shot because the arrow glanced off a tree branch as it was climbibg up the tree I was in. It managed to limp away into the night and all I could hear was the snarling of the pack of wolves that had been circling me just out of range of my trusty longbow. After an hour of pure horror the ATV with the outfitter finally approached my tree stand and we headed back to the cabin. Next day after a full day of searching all we could find of my trophy was this and some odds and ends of a couple wolves.  ....Lloyd  :goldtooth:

Shot a "Least Weasel", a pine marten, and once a muskrat that was swimming under the ice on a pond.  My arrow went right through the ice and I got the muskrat. No picture of that one, but my son was with me and was amazed that an arrow could do that...    :archer:

Wow that maten is the coolest yet! Not legal to shoot in NY and they are very isolated here, mostly in old growth forests. A fisher would be great also. I know that you used to be able to shoot them in Maine but only trapping or roadkill collecting in NY.

Here's a few pics of the ones, or pieces I could find....believe it or not, its easier to hit them than to FIND them!!!

I was stump shooting in the yard one afternoon and after a 25 yard shot at a dandelion I found a very small snake dead and wrapped around my arrow.  What are the odds of that?

Killed a young pronghorn buck with jet black fur on his antlers.  I thought it was a NC antelope  :)  until it came out of the briars at about 10 yards.  Wish I had a picture.

What in tarnation is an NC antelope? A speedgoat in briars. Youve got my attention, tell us more.

I was target practicing at an archery club range about 20 years ago. The target bails were synthetic and had been out in the weather for a few years. I was shooting this particular target right before dusk for about 20 minutes. One arrow at a time, shoot, pull the arrow out and shoot again. I took a shot and noticed something moving around the arrow. I walked up to the target and there was a snake coming out of the target wrapped around the arrow. It must had been in the bail and I just happened to shoot it. I left the arrow with the snake. I went back a few days later and the arrow and snake were both gone.
