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.

I always see trends in armadillos where I am. They go up and down, and what I have associated it with is flooding. I haven’t really had a big flood since 2019. It seems like they get knocked back down by high floods and build back up after, but that might not be the case if you don’t flood. I think I have killed/trapped 71 for the year.

And why is that ?

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.

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.

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.
