Armadillos

[catman529]

Is it true that they eat turkey eggs? Either way I shoot em when I can. I walked up on 3 while squirrel hunting 2 days ago, and only one escaped.

grinners on the half shell. They are scroungers so I'm sure they do eat turkey eggs

[ccleroy]

Yes they are nest raiders. Kill em' all

One more reason to shoot them! Good job!

I saw my first one in middle Tn. a few months ago, I have heard they were some around but sure was depressing to see a huge one.

Egg eaters for sure. 
Love the Model 60....

We got em in Southen Illinois too.  I've seen several dead ones on the road and my buddy caught one in a leg trap year.

I I live in western ky andy last summer my mom said there was a dead one on the road by her house. I didn't believe it until she went back and took a picture of him.

Tons of them in FLA & SC where I hunt.

We have them out the wazoo in AR.  It sounds funny to hear of someone taking a picture of an armadillo since we have so many.  They aren't the brightest, most alert creatures.  I have kicked them before while hunting.  They would be so intent on finding bugs in dead bark and leaves that they didn't even notice me sneaking up on them. 
While hunting in OK this spring, we saw probably 8-10 of them.  Didn't want to waste high dollar hevi-shot rounds on them.  We did end up rolling one with the brush guard on the Range Rover the landowner let us drive.  I also rolled one on the dirt road getting back out to the interstate from where we hunted.

I was thinking the same thing.  We could start a lucrative business shipping these cuddly creatures across the country!!! 

Let me tell you what's fun....shooting them with a bow.  Get bored while deer hunting and the stalk is on.  Nest raiders and will tear a yard up rooting around.  On a serious note, I have always heard and read articles that armadillos can transmit leprosy, so if you must handle, handle cautiously and wash well afterwards.  Some folks even eat them, but no thanks for me.

hunted Western OK with a fellow from North Dakota this past year, and he didn't kill a bird but the highlight of his trip was he got to see an Armadillo.  I thought it was a strange highlight but hey I also was in KS with a buddy this season who was all excited to see a pheasant for the first time.
