...code in our family. You don’t kill something that can’t be eaten.

Back in the ‘60s, while visiting my wife’s family near Waco TX, her Uncle asked if I’d like to do some shooting. HECK Yeah!
He had some acreage that was being taken over by armadillos, with all their digging and burrows. We took his shotguns and walked around for about 2 hours. Dispatched over two dozen of the critters. .....Armadillos are NOT to be eaten, but killed.
You can make an edible stew barbecue out of them.
