Kids found one the ranch dog was playing with, went and got the 22LR and dispatched it. Pick up by the tail and into the woods. It was a big one! Mostly eat grubs so I say, spray grub poison. Don't know if yotes or hogs will eat the dead ones.

Whatever!
Seems like every time I see one they are drinking a Texas beer.

Had them baked in camp fire coals and chicken fried. Once you got the hang of holding the edges of the shell down with your boot toes they're easy to clean. Between them and rabbit, coon, quail, deer, duck, frog legs, crane, squirrel, a fella with a bag of rice could eat pretty good on his own in northwest Texas.

True enough, I've seen at least 1 wrecked car beings the dillo jumped into the steering linkage, In the ditch the car went.
During the Depression they were called "Hoover Hogs". Killed plenty of them on deer leases. Never ate one, had too much "good" meat to eat. Never handled one, let it lay for the varmits to eat on. I shot one with a 65 lb bow with aluminum arrow and it bent the arrow. After that, when bow hunting, I shot them with a .45 auto.

One of my father's favorite statements: "If I say a chicken dips snuff, look under his wing for the snuffbox" How I was raised, who I am.
they dig lots of small holes in the yard and fields
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
Years ago I was talking with a fellow over by Baton Rouge and he told me about the armadillo that was digging up his yard. One night he spotted the critter and eased on out there with his .22. Drew a dead bead on it and put a hole right through the water bowl his dog had turned over.
I am not too sure about some of you guys. What in the Wide World of Sports causes a person to dress and eat a critter that may carry leprosy?
I friend of mine who used to do deer mounts got infected with TB from an infected deer here in MI. He went through hell until they figured out what happened. Seemed he had nicked his finger and he figured the TB got to him that way. He had health issues for over a year. He stopped his side business.
Just bought corned beef for $2.49/lb and chicken thighs for $.99/lb at the discount grocery we frequent. Pork butts were $1.29/lb but no space in the freezer or I would have grabbed some.
Eating armadillo? Not going to happen.

They have awful eyesight. If you shoot one with a.22 they will take off running and if you're not good at "dodging" will try to run over you.

Yeah, they don't have teeth--- but do have a mean set of landing gear, and constant 4 wheel drive!

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
They're so ugly, I feel sorry for my bullets when they touch em.
Doing a mount of an armadillo wood be an interesting task for a taxidermist.
