Maybe don't shoot any more armadillos...

I found this to be interesting in  Wikipedia      

 Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century, leprosy was unknown in the New World. Given that armadillos are native to the New World, at some point they acquired the disease from humans

My first trad kill was a Dillo, still got him in the freezer. Gonna get him mounted laying on his back drinking a beer bottle or can!

   Chris,  that would qualify as the coolest mount I've ever seen and it would make a great center piece for the table!

I used to work at a bar in Cedar Falls, Iowa called "Armadillos".  They had a mounted Armadillo behind the bar.  Pretty cool full body mount I must say.  I've shot a couple but haven't mounted one yet.  I will someday.

Ok, so don't have any up here in the great white north, but they are off my list anyway. Saw Steve McQeen and Dustin Hoffman in Pappion, like a hundred years ago and that's enough for me.

I think I remember a friend of ours who is a RN & lives in Texas telling me that several years ago? I haven't seen one yet here in Montana????

I caught h.e.double hockey sticks for this before but here is a video I shot while deer hunting last fall. This dillo hung around too long.

I believe the article in the paper said, 125 - 250 cases per year, with around 1/3 getting the disease. Good reason not to use, or handle them.

If you don't eat them or come into contact with the raw flesh, you won't be likely to get leprosy, according to the NY Times article I read. I would be careful pulling an arrow from one. Better to lose the arrow than take a chance.

I guess I should rethink that 'dilla kissing contest I was going to arrange.

I try to keep a junk arrow with me just for a passing dillo.  I always think its a hog coming in at dark, drives me crazy
