Armadillos population

Is anyone else noticing a larger than normal Armadillo population this year? They are all over our place around Natchez.
21

Yes. Kill as many as you can

Yes. We have been talking about that also. Sometimes you can look up and see 3 or 4 grabbing around in a food plot. And you pass 2 or 3 in the road going back to the camp every night.
One of the teenagers who hurts with us rode around the other night with a 22 and killed 13.
I have no idea. Maybe the drought? Or maybe the coyotes caught some disease and died out? I've never seen anything like it

My son and I were talking about this the other day. Same as the other poster said, it's nothing to see 3 or 4 at a time in our plots.

Coyotes eat armadillos, are y’all killing all the coyotes?
Posted on 12/18/23 at 9:17 am to commode
They are everywhere on us. I started keeping a suppressed .22 pistol in my side by side I’ve killed at least 20 in the last month. We went from hardly any to them being everywhere

I know a couple old baws who ride around on golf carts near homer. Baws told me they averaging one dillo a day. They shoot em.

Yes, they are absolutely everywhere. I had to do some research in the deer stand regarding this.
From what I understand, they are migratory, and will travel fair distances. In times of drought, the ground becomes too hard for them to burrow into the dirt to feed. They will seek out any tilled/plowed dirt which makes it easier for them to feed. Hence, all the dillos in the food plots, fields, and road sides.

Big time yes in area 4.
I was putting them down during bow season. Made for some great target practice

Seen more than I've ever seen over the last couple months. But I thought it was just because they decided to not to be nocturnal anymore and not necessary because there was a bigger population. The only time I've seen them out in the middle of the day like I have recently is during a warming period following several days of unusual cold.

Those little bulldozers can’t help themselves so we got this…12 down and garden appreciates it.

Somebody on here needs to bbq one and post a review on here. Supposed to taste like pork. Very slight chance of leprosy.

Thought it was just our place in St Helena. They have been everywhere. I'll see 4 or 5 a hunt. Been shooting them with my sons little cricket .22 at night.

I go on a killing spree every couple weeks.
1. Get to some level of altered consciousness.
2. Wait til midnight. Grab a 12 gauge and a 4 wheeler.

Why do people hate them? I know residential people in subdivisions competing for lawn of the month don't like them, but other than that, what do they hurt?

I'm south of you (Wilkinson Co.) but in the past I never saw armadillos, now they're everywhere. I figured it had something to do with the drought because that's the only difference I can come up wiht.

We used to never see them but have started seeing them fairly frequently. I’m torn on whether to shoot them or not. Don’t want them eating Turkey eggs but don’t want to ruin a deer hunt. Same with coons and I’ve been seeing more of them as well.
We haven’t seen any hogs in awhile since this drought. Not sure how much hogs will eat armadillos but that may play a factor at our spot.

I thought about this the other day. I've been seeing an insane amount lately - at the house, hunting, driving, everywhere.

The dry weather had them out in middle day. Killed 31 in my hayfields in the middle of day. Ground so hard don't understand how they were rooting at all
