Armadillo’s

[44 mag]

They have been coming out of the woodwork. I have killed 8 in the last week. 5 of them today while finishing up getting ready for juvenile. But it got me to thinking.

Do they raid turkey nest and eat the eggs or just tear up food plots?

Also my son asked me if they were an invasive species and my first thought was yes they are but they are not introduced but migrated naturally so I am not sure what that is called. I know they don't belong and are not native. What's your thoughts

 

[backyardtndeer]

Yes they are invasive. And yes they eat eggs.

 

[Carlos]

I've wondered about that myself.

 

[DCA-DEER]

I've seen and killed more this year than ever seems like every bean field we cut is full of them

I am in the same boat. I do not have bean fields but when I go to the hunting property they are in every food plot and in the middle of the road. I have killed more in the last week than I usually kill all year.

They are actually considered illegal alien invaders, but not by the current administration.

Holy crap. That's a lot of armadillos

 

[hayden01]

Killed 10 plus here as well. They are everywhere

 

[Racknquack]

Do coyotes eat them?

 

[TJS209]

Exploded on our farm. We've killed a bunch the last two weekends

 

[All about my grandkids]

Turkey population down armadillo population up go figure

 

[Rakkin6]

Saw about 8 of them on Sunday during an afternoon hunt. Would have shot them but not risking a $20.00 arrow and a $15.00 broadhead.

 

[huntncoach]

Yikes! I saw 5 of them on my lease in Rhea Co a few weeks ago after I got out of the stand and was checking a camera.

 

[Omega]

They are now in my area, haven't see a live one, but one dead right by my driveway in the street, and two more just a few hundred yards down the road. I am now on the look out, these guys can root up an area pretty quickly.

 

[FTG-05]

Killed one with my RTV the other day, a first for me. I forgot to go see if his carcass was still there today or if the yotes got it.

 

[DeerMan66]

They are everywhere in the woods on our lease. Every ridge I go on I see one or where they have been in the leaves. Never seen this many.

 

[BSK]

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

 

[JCDEERMAN]

My cousin killed 4 and missed one on Sunday. I saw 2 within 30 yards of my stand I got in Friday afternoon. Didn't have a gun on me though
