Right...we didn't know that, as kids!

Armadillos would dig under the fence and tear up my grandma's yard, particularly after a rain or if we had watered. Because of flooding one year, there were scads of armadillos up in people's stuff and not out in the boonies like they should've been.

So me and my dog spent a day armadillo hunting. I've never seen a happier dog -- he had been trying to get after them for years and we wouldn't let him because he had a tendency to disappear into the woods.

Basically, he'd flush one out and start chasing until the dillo made its stand, usually in a pre-dug hole. By the time I caught up to them, the dillo would be mostly underground, but with the dog holding on to its tail to keep it from digging further.

Interesting note about armadillos: if you grab their tail, they puff up and dig their claws into the ground so you can't pull em out. You will pull off their tail before you dislodge them. So, you grab the tail, stick a .410 shotgun in the hole, and pull the trigger. Easy removal from that point.

As an added bonus, your dog is beside himself with joy from the consumation of all his armadillo fantasies.

Leprosy? I figured this had to be an old wives tail. But no, it's true.

Erm, 'scuse me for asking, but which hole?

if you put it in one, you've automatically put it in the other as well :lol:

Whatzamatta? Can't take him mono-a-mono? What a girlie-man. You should have stripped down to your G-string and taken him on honorably.:nadkick:

Isn't there a noodley appendage thread somewhere? Get it to 1000 replies and I'll post pics.

While we wait, here's your WTF moment of the day.

This wasn't sport hunting, this was eradication. If I could've killed them from my easy chair, I would've.

It's a cross between an ewok and a lollipop guild munchkin!

Getting 1000 replies is easy now.

And as a bonus, you don't have to eat them if you hit it with a car.

But you can ... don't they have a Roadkill Dining Club near you?

What makes this picture is the cat giving the snake the once over.

WTF, indeed! :lol:
