Armadillo
Armadillo
There was a face off in the corner.
Possum on the 1/2 shell....Ummm Good
I read about this back in the 80s. When we visited Florida this past March, we mentioned it to our brother in law, who lives near Bradenton. He was not aware of the danger.
I just emailed this article to him. Thanks for posting it.
Shoot and I was so looking forward to armadillo bowling.
By the way according to “Alas Babylon” armadillo tastes like lamb.
——We catch more armadillos than we do any other species,” said wildlife trapper Kyle Waltz.-——
I see at least one a week driving out of my development....
Some are alive, some are roadkill...
On a recent trip to Branson I started seeing dead armadillos on the road after we got past Kansas City. I wish I had a dollar for every one I saw.
Did you hear about the businessman who didn’t know his secretary had leprosy until his business dropped off?
There used to be a leper colony and research hospital in Carville LA. The town had some connection to Clinton’s guy, James Carville.
The research facility was offering $40 each for live armadillos. My friend Bubba and his brother decided they’d drive over to Texas and trap a truckload of ‘dillos and get rich. So they filled a U-haul with traps, drove over and set them in E Texas. After about a week they’d only bagged about 30 but they were bored and headed back with their catch, figuring they’d made $1200, good money for a week’s camp out. On the way back, they stopped and partied at a few bars. It was a really hot summer, they needed a cold brew. Got a little drunk, had to sleep it off. Finally they returned to Carville, threw open the trailer doors to the most goshawful stench of dead armadillos you can imagine.
I ate some fried armadillo when I was a teenager. Unless the incubation period is decades long I guess a bullet was dodged.
