"I Wanna Go Home With the Armadillo"

[Gobbla2001]

was out at my aunt's farm last night... she has a problem with an armadillo rooting the yard of their ranch-house...

so I set up shop outside at about 10:20 with a 22 mag and a flashlight... turned on the flashlight five minutes into the hunt and there he was... I waited until he scooted away from the vehicles and laid him out...

which brings me to this question: Is it illegal to kill armadillos?

I don't think it is legal. I called City Hall once because some squirrils got into my attic from the outside. I called City Hall and they said you can't shoot them or poison them. They said you can find out where they are getting in and then fix it where they can't. We found out that there was a hole at then vent so they were out my brother in law blocked their entrance with some wire vents.
The main thing is we were told we couldn't harm them and I prefer to do as the law says.

actually you can shoot 'em whenever... they have no season and no limit, most people just don't bother shootin' 'em unless they're hanging around deer feeders stealin' corn or destroying pecan crops...

in the city limits you can't shoot 'em 'cept with an air-rifle (pellet, bb)... maybe the poisoning is discouraged because it can be spread to other animals as well?

Have you heard the "Reggae Armadillo" by Nunn??? I can't stand it, the live version is so, SO much better...

actually, just before pulling the trigger on that feller, Robert Earl Keen Jr's "Armadillo Jackal" was playing through my head"


"Jesus, will you send me just another three or four?
They pay two-fifty down in Halletsville, 3 dollars, maybe more.
And more than likely they'll be out tonight wonderin' from the farms
Waddlin' down 1291 to keep their bodies warm.
I'm talking walkin' belts and neckties, and boots for rodeo,
They don't run too fast, don't waste much gas. I'm makin' lots of dough.
The armadillo oh oh oh, The armadillo oh oh oh The armadillo"
