Oh they pass thru! Just doesn't wreck a bladed broadhead in the process. Very strong armadillo medicine

I had an uncle growing up in South Texas that would almost crash his car if he saw one on the road. He would stop get out and whack the armored varmint with a stick he carried in his car specially for that special occasion. He would take it home and cook it in his wood burning stove fueled with mesquite, and he called it bar-b-que.
This was in the early 1950's I was probably five or six and I really enjoyed sharing of his bounty, I remember it tasting like pork. I ate a lot of things back then being raised by grandparents who were born at the turn of the century, not knowing any better.

Too bad my uncle Joe has dearly departed, you could turn him loose in a field infested with those critters and soon they would eradicated off that parcel of land.

Rowel; let me know if you plan on going back to your families ranch this year, I've sure enjoyed the times we hunted there. Sure be different now that feeders are allowed. I still like that ladder stand with the exception of the fence between you guys and that crazy "I'll shoot you neighbor". I lost a good buck on that side of the fence.

Just a side note. Armadillos carry leprosy. Yup, the Biblical kind.

You're a tougher booger than me. I hate touching the nasty things let alone trying to eat one. I bet they rank right up there with skunk and possum
