used to wear the heck out of a roadkill cafe shirt like this in the 90s.

Just remember that if you sneak up on one and go to grab it, grab fast. When it senses you it will jump straight up. ( Don't ask me how I know this).
That's why most die on the highway.

Rat with a shell, disgusting creatures

I’m kinda surprised I haven’t seen a single one since I moved to the Atlanta area 20ish years ago. I know they’re up there. I see lots of deer. I’ve had turtles, foxes and possum and coyotes in my yard. Never these though.
A strange thing has been happening the last two weeks or so. I walk my dog around 10:00 every night. Almost every night, including the last three in a row, a doe and her quickly growing fawn are in the same neighbors yard in the exact same spot about 10 feet from the sidewalk. They don’t give a shite about me or the dog. They just stand there looking at us. I guess they don’t want to trigger the dog to chase?

The scream when you shoot them. It's kind of creepy.
Haven't been around enough of them to hear that.
Have heard squirrels do it tho. Sounds just like a human infant. Indeed, creepy.

Don't use anything but a .22
A single .22 is more deadly to them than 10 .45 rounds
Very true. Probably 20 years ago, my mother in law's husband at the time took us out to his land to shoot clays, ride 4 wheelers, and hang out. We were driving back from where we had been shooting, he stops the truck, grabs the revolver in the door, and unloads on an armadillo. When he got back in someone asked why he shot it so many times. He said the first 3 bounced off the shell.
A few years after that I was down visiting my relatives, when my Uncle grabbed a .22 he kept by the door, slipped out the back, and fed one to an armadillo. He said unless you run one down his throat it will likely bounce off. And he told me that a .22 has a better chance of slipping through than a 9mm or a .45.

One of these I put down dropped right where it was shot. The blood killed the grass and it took it a year to come back.
Have killed many of them, but never had one's blood do that to the grass.

What type of advice would you like to give the northerners on how to deal with their new tenants?
Year after year I fought those bastards. They are mostly nocturnal. One summer, hot and dry, I removed and mostly killed fifty. Next year I got a trap from The Armadillo Company and caught and released forty or fifty.
Now, I just let them turn over the dirt in the flower beds. I will fill the hole and then pull the weeds, smooth everything out and put down mulch. They go dormant in the winter.
