I'm 2 counties from NC in Georgia. I saw 1st armadillo here 2 or 3 years ago. Saw 2 dead ones on our county roads this year. I'll try to drive them northward for yall to enjoy. They do like chin rubs. Possum on the halfshell.

My first day in TN I saw a dead one on the road. Have seen them here and there for a decade now.
I STILL have locals telling me they aren't here.

Just started seeing them here maybe 15 years ago? Thought they were just in and near Texas before that.
I know I fucking hate them and what they did to my yard. I put down a pre-emergent grub killer now. That has helped. But I had some new sod put down a few months ago in one spot, and several weeks later as it was getting well-established, they swooped in and destroyed every bit of it. PISSED ME OFF. They make me want to sit outside with a suppressed .22. |

Was packing up my treestand in the dark one night after hunting, heard what i thought was a massive hog coming towards me but couldn't see any movement by moonlight.
Pulled my M&P and lit it up, still saw nothing. Whatever it was had stopped 20ft from me, i started freaking a bit...  10 seconds later, an armadillo pops up from under the leaves, stares at the light for about 10 seconds (i thought about popping it just for scaring the crap out of me) then runs headfirst into a tree before waddling off the way it came... I've only seen a couple in the upstate, this was in Anderson county, SC |

Usually see them on the interstate first, few here and there. Then boom, everywhere. Your yard will never be the same. Hope for an ice storm that lasts a couple of days. Seemed to knock the numbers back.

Seemed to knock the numbers back. Mini-mags also knock the numbers back.  They are pretty stupid. They really move in the early morning hours (1-2 hours before sun up) or the early evenings (1-2 hours after dusk). My little mutt corners them up, I shine a flashlight in their face (which they walk towards), plug them between the eyes with 40grains of lead. They jump like crazy, up to 5' high. They also do somersaults after being plugged so if they're by the house, it'll look like a mass murder scene. Their blood is really thick and oily...don't get any on you because it will not wash out. |

They’re dumb. I had a lowered Integra way back in the younger days with a CF chin spoiler. Saw one of them standing in the road one night on a blind curve, so I hit the brakes. Honked, dumped the clutch, honked. It wouldn’t move. I had to go outside and kick it. I see them in the deer woods and send a couple 9mm at them to watch them do burnouts.
I remember watching a YouTube video of people in South America making soups with them

They have been steadily expanding northward here in Misery too. 20 years ago, you only saw the occasional road killed dillo in the far southwest areas of the state. Now I see them splattered all over the place regularly west & southwest of St. Louis. Oddly enough, I have yet to see any in the yard or catch them on security cameras, but it'll be time to break out the crossbow or quiet .22 when I do.

I remember when they first showed up in Missouri in the mid 90s.
One came hopping through the woods at deer season and I was like Holy shit! An armadillo! Nobodies going to believe this! So I shot it and took it to the house so nobody could call me a liar.  The conservation said they wouldnt survive the winters and then it was they will never go farther north than the Mo. River. They have done both quite easily. |

I did my part and smoked one in Northern SC. I was waiting on hogs for about 5 hours on a blustery, chilly night a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen shit under my thermal until one of those fuckers showed up about 200 yards out. I said fuck it, gave up on the hogs cause I wasn't gonna last must longer out there, and let one fly. 18 inch Grendel with an SST, 1 shot 1 kill.

I've dispatched 38 so far, about half were caught in traps and the remainder I saw and shot them on sight. You have to stay up late though, they are very nocturnal and seldom show up until several hours after dark. |

As soon as the sun starts to go down they are in the leaves. Dumbest things on the planet. Sometime they run, sometimes they just stare at you till you kick them. Fortunately my yard is based on naturally occurring weeds and grasses so they are not going to do much damage. |
