Armadillo’s

[fairchaser]

They have moved into my backyard and in 1 night destroyed half my yard. I killed one and last night another moved in. My grandson said he needs to get dead so I'm on the hunt tonight.

Killed 10 plus here as well. They are everywhere

I wish i could load all my videos I have alot of longer shots on my phone

What is up with them? Suddenly seeing them everywhere in daylight.

We noticed this too this year, especially in August/September. No idea why they started to be out and about in the daylight, but the .17HMR makes quick work of them. Frond of mine has killed over 30 in his yard this year.

I first encountered armadillos when I arrived at my first active duty assignment in Fort Bliss, TX. I think I was there 6 months before I saw one moving.

I always said that before I saw the one moving I thought Armadillo was a fungus that thrived on pavement...

Removed this one from the population last night. First one I've seen with a tail like this. Think he lost it in the past or an old injury? Instead of tossing him, I think I'm going roll him around in a live trap and see if the scent will help trap others.

Ask the agency folks, they'll tell you right away, someone's relocating the Armadillos to this area because they weren't here before.
Now you have armadillos showing up is areas where there was been none before, this 100% proves that they've been illegally relocated.

Negatory. I watched them slowly, slowly move from SW Tennessee towards Middle TN, and from Alabama northwards. A little farther each year. They moved in naturally and were not "relocated." Now WHY they moved in is a good question. Some believe it is because our winters have gotten warmer, but I'm not buying that, as our winters really haven't gotten much warmer, and we still have some really cold snaps each year. Some say they're following fire ants that are moving northwards, but the armadillos have far outpaced the fire ants in northward shift.

I finally caught up with the bugger last night. He destroyed my yard.

I've got 4 so far this year - 3 last week and yes they've torn up my yard too. Seeing a bumper crop this year.

I gotcha.

Their expansion is much like the wild hogs then?
(Depending on which side you ask, of course.)

Some just aren't as well endowed as others

These things have been on our place since about 2005 in Hickman. We've been plinking them since that time period. Always during daylight. Although, can't tell you how many I've killed off the front porch of our cabin at night while taking a leak. I hear them, I shoot them

 

[RobDooley]

I snuck up on one the other day about 3 feet away, and he looked up at me for a second like I imagine TNtreeman would look at me, and then went back to eating grass. So I yelled at him and he ignored me.

I think he greenstriped me.

A real stupid/dumb look, no doubt.

No, wild hogs were brought in and released by people who wanted to sell hog hunts.

 

[tasaman]

I've not passed on a dillo in range yet.

Nothing , I repeat nothing, pleases me more then when two bidet voting America haters make jokes at my expense. . . No matter how " stupid/ dumb" I may be, at least I didn't pull the lever for a pedophilic , incompetent, socialist like you two did.

 

[gobblesandgrunts]

Do any of you eat the ones you kill.

Don't they carry leprosy? Nvm thread above confirmed lol

 

[Lost Lake]

I've been seeing them in droves, skunks too! An armadillo has made it a mission to destroy my MIL's barn foundation. I've gotta get it killed.
