Trail cam first

Have seen a few of these around, but despite seeing evidence they were around, had never gotten any pics of one until now. TWRA admits the armadillos are around here now and they are open year round as nuisances.

Looks like William just got a new hobby! 'Dillo bustin'

Something else to blast at with your AR

I never knew you didn't have many in TN. They are so common around here I assumed they were around your neck of the woods too William.

One thing they are good for around here is digging up yellow jacket nest to feast on the larvae. That's about the only good thing I can say about them.

wow, i see them all of the time.....almost every day, i had a baby one walk out in front of me today, got a pic, but only of the top half of its back.....
word of advice , lol....if you ever go sneaking up on an armadillo and knock on it's shell, make sure your head isnt directly above them, they like to jump straight up and can break a nose in a heartbeat, lol.....we have so much fun with them.once at a Gator game, we were all tail gating and you know what that means, lol, jello shots, turkeys shots, beer, mnore turkey shots, lol.......well this poor innocent armadillo came out , so we caught him/her and painted it orange and blue, lol.....it didnt hurt it, but it was funny....that was the same night , i tried petting an alligator under the bridge, if it werent for the guys with me, pulling me up when they did, it would of taken an arm....i sure miss those Gator games, lol.....
you know the park service just kills them, yep thats right....just shoots them dead...i tried it(had too), i couldnt justify it, they do damage , but thats nothing compared to the rooting from the hogs....so i finally rebelled.......and said no more......

The bee world is at an extreme loss of billions of bees that are just not around anymore! These are the same bees the pollinate billions of plants that we need every year! I just seen this on TV the other day. If we loose these bees, we can kiss goodbye many of the fruits that we love to eat!

We've always had them around here, especially in low areas, but in the last year or two I've seen way more than I have before. Last year I saw six of them on the way to the stand one afternoon.

They're known as speed bumps around here!

Definitely a pest that will make a mess of your yard or garden, but they do eat a lot of bugs.
