Dead armadillo is the only good kind of armadillo!
Those varmints made it to the north side of the Missouri River four or five years ago. I haven’t seen any on my property, but there was a dead one on WW hiway between here and Columbia summer before last, so it’s just a matter of time.
MDC should offer a bounty on armadillos.
They are not part of “natural” Missouri any more than the wild hogs are.
