Not only are our deer sightings off a lot, I don't know of any of our members seeing an armadillo on our lease this year. Last year, I would see one most every day of hunting. We have seen where they have been digging in the leaves some, but no live sightings. This is Winston County. What's up with that? Also, can/will coyotes kill an armadillo?

Come to think of it, we are usually covered up in them and I haven't even seen one dead on the highway.

In the part of Walker co I live in the last 2 or 3 years the armadillos have disappeared use to see them everywhere now none. Where I hunt Fayette Co haven't seen one all year but not sure if they were there before or not first year hunting there. Not sure if something ate them or they got some kind of disease that wiped them out.

i cant stand those things they are sorry and worthless! When we shoot them in late afternoons on the sod farm, the Meskin workers come out and pick them up to eat. I know you've heard the old term, "possum on the half shell"?

I haven't seen one this year either. Guess all the crossbow hunters killed them out!

Still haven't heard from anyone that says they know that coyotes eat them. That's what I'm trying to figure out. If that's the case, the coyotes must have caught all the deer they can and started on the armadillos at our place. That would explain why some folks have seen many and others have seen very few or none. And then the disease theory could also apply. I ain't missing them cause I love them, I'm just trying to figure out more about what's going on.

I can't remember ever seeing one where we hunt in Macon County.
