I was thinking somewhere more along the lines of those three yotes you guys just whacked. You gotta have something filed away that will give them some zing on bread and gravy.

If I can get loose that week you may want to check Waynes chili for coyote hair, or not :innocentwhistle:Jimmie

Who would want to eat an armidillo.  Plus we dont have them up here. Thank God!  Tell Rusty he doesnt have to worry about me now since there are none to shoot.  Can you believe he was going to take me to jail for shooting that armidillo

Why would you have gone to jail?  Surely they aren't protected?  If they are I am in really big trouble...also I am going down to Florida to hunt with my dad in a couple weeks.  If you need some extra armadillos let me know and I can freeze a half a dozen of em...as long as you tell me how to clean/skin/de-shell the dang things.

Lighterknot,
Stanley was shooting them at night. No night hunting in Alabama other than coons and possums. I figured you knew that but others probably don't. Stanley will get rid of the armadillos for you. He loves that kinda stuff.

That explains it.  In middle school there was a guy in my dad's lease that would pay me $10 for every armadillo I could bring him as long as it had an undamaged shell.  My choices were either to shoot them in the head with a .22 or to catch them.  I think i may have gotten a total of $60 or $70 out of him over the course of a season before I got tired of messing with them.  I know he was a taxedermist, and if memory serves me correctly ether him or his wife made some kind of decorative arrangement out of their shells and sold them to people.
