Dropping off Mexican semis!Are they hitching a ride from Texas? Or have they actually migrated here?
Hmm would they be considered a varmint or protected in Indiana?Asking for a friend, when is armadillo season?
Multicolor peppercorns and sea salt, both fresh ground--oh, wait, you asked when is season, not how to season.Asking for a friend, when is armadillo season?
It's true they are carriers for it. There are a few cases of leprosy annually traced back to the consumption/handling of armadillos.I've heard that they sometimes carry leprosy, but I don't know if that's true or just an old wives' tale.
Fifteen years ago I read an article saying they were in Illinois and heading our way. The quote from the article that sticks with me, is saying that some people in South America keep them as “edible pets.”At my brothers farm in south Tenn. they were very distructive. He predicted they would make it to Indiana.
Yep. Of course, leprosy is treatable now so you rarely hear about it as it is no big deal anymore.It's true they are carriers for it. There are a few cases of leprosy annually traced back to the consumption/handling of armadillos.

Let me help ya out with a picture of four at once...took this in Arkansas nearly two months ago...odd lookin' critters. Feet like pigs, ears like a bunny, nose like a rat, and better body armor that most tactical units.I could see 1. Ive seen them singularly in southern IN as roadkill.
But 4 at once seems really odd.
