Attacked by Armadillos again

I have no clue why these damn things always attack when you are in the woods by yourself and no one else at Camp but they always do. Since these has happened before I knew immediately what it was but just for fun wanted to see how close they would actually come. Was tempted to blasted them with my AR though.
Answer was the damn thing ran right over my feet. They clearly are attracted right to you must be body heat.
So if you are being followed on the Woods you can’t see it but it zeros right too you and will not respond to shouts or even shots in the air it is a damn armadillo.

DO NOT kick the ever living hell out of it with plain non-steel toed rubber boots on.

I kicked one, head on, one time when I was walking out from an evening turkey hunt.
we were walking the same trail heading to each other. I waited for the right moment and stepped into it.
The armadillo jumped right before my foot made contact with it. My foot impacted right under the dillo and I heard the pine branches cracking as he went flying/crashing through the trees

Instep to their midsection with toe under. They fly fairly well. Mung as my witness. And, I don't believe OP.

They are strange creatures. They come right at you. Must be body heat or smell since obviously they can’t hear or see shite

They are fun to golf swing at with beaver sticks

Front of their skull plate is kinda thin too....pop them across the top of their eyes and see what happens.

They are blind dummy
My cousin and I used to catch them by throwing a blanket over them and sale them to La Tech animal research for $50.00.
Talk about profit

I shot one with a .17 HMR one time. Shot his nose off (wasn’t trying too) and he jumped like 2 feet in the air doing flips for a solid minute until he finally died.
Also dropped one off a pier in about 4 foot of water and he sank to the bottom and walked across the bottom of the pond to the bank.
Strange creatures.

Bayou Cocodrie was loaded too. On cool days they would start moving around 2.

No kidding. I did this as a kid thinking it would be like kicking a football. Nope, it's like kicking a stump.

We didn’t have cable growing up. We spent about half out time chasing them. We didn’t have a subspecies that chased us back

Was at my dad’s one night and we were walking through the yard into the house. Saw what I thought was a football left in the yard. Strolled up, thinking o was gonna Uncle Rico it into the back yard. Grabbed it and the sumbitch flipped and made a god awful sound. Closest I’ve ever come to pissing my pants.
