Hey Group,
Just a quick show and tell. Hope everyone is well.
Happy New Year to you and your family! 💜
I'm probably doing better than the armadillo is in this video.
Back in the 70's and 80's there was Lone Start Beer commercials in Texas, where a reporter was saying "it happened again folks the Giant Armadillo attacked the Lone Star Beer truck and drank up all the Lone Star". Unfortunately You see them dead on the road quit often here in Texas, they have a habit of jumping strait up when they get startled. I've seen them just straight up about 4ft in the air. I love watching them root around for bugs, being mostly blind you can walk right up to them.
I grew up in Northeast Texas, and my best friend and I caught and ate a couple of Armadillos just to try them when we were younger. Good meat and a lot of fat up under their back shell. Don't try using a bow and wooden arrows like my friend. He shattered two arrows, so I took them with a 22LR. We chased them a while, but I decided I wanted to eat more than run around in the brush.
Their underside feels soft, but it is deceptively tough skin, and I had to sharpen my knife, a classic Buck 110 folder I believe, a couple of times before I had both their shells off.
Good meat. Somewhere between chicken and beef if I recall, but that was well over 40 years ago. We pan fried some, roasted some, and made a stew with some, just to see what worked best. It was all edible. Of course the stewed meat was the most tender and the pan fried was the toughist. If I was out in the boonies and hungry, I'd roast up some 'dillo in a heartbeat.
In Dallas about 30-ish years ago I became the hero of the neighborhood. There was an armadillo digging plugs out of people's lawns several nights running. I snuck on the little booger, reached over a low brick wall, and picked him up by the tail. I put him in a cardboard box and took him far away to a nice green area and let him go. The neighbor's were amazed. Obviously city folk.
I heard they taste like pork, even before this video. Is it true?
..........Armadillos are a true Son of Texas....I have chased them and sometimes caught them in my younger years....Have never eaten one but many have.....Interesting creatures for sure....
Lol! Love the way it took off dodging right and left the just stops and looks back! 😊 we've had one living under our house for years until it finally (dissapeared/passed). They really are cool critters although they will rototil your lawn looking for grubs. 😣😁
They love the insects. Have a light out front that they collect around to scoop up crickets in the warmer months.
Very good 😊👍
We have a few in Iowa now
They’re fun.
Cool video thank you. Hope your health keeps going up like your love for animals. I've got a Steve Irwan joke but he would love you, and that's no joke. Keep up the good work bro and thank you
They are so cool. I wish we had them around here.
Well they’re found in other places in the southern us like Louisiana, Florida, and even Oklahoma!
Armadillos have made their way east into AL and GA. I never saw them when I was a kid but now I see them all the time usually dead on the road. My old man called them possums on a half shell.
They are pretty successful out here in Texas.
We have them in eastern Tennessee now. I don't know how they survive our winters, but they do. The only time I see them is when they've been hit on the roads. A lady my husband works with say they're digging holes in her yard.
So cute! All three of all y'all. ❤🌅🌵 Next time you catch one, just tell us how to get the meat, if you don't want to actually show us.
Should have explained it. Feel silly now not going into the good stuff. Will do.
Very interesting. Thanks, guys.
Cute one!
Phone camera looks pretty good, that’s what I’ve been using. I noticed there’s no high pitched background whine in this one, I figured it was bugs, maybe it’s your regular camera? Glad to see your mug on videos again.
Mic needs working at. Always something.
Possum on the half-shell. I wish we had them up here in my part of Texas.
Love it!
I so admire you to let animals go when you don't need to kill them. Don't get me wrong, when it is a necessity to do so, eat them.
They're strong little suckers ... and fast, too! 😳
My husband is from Texas so he's familiar with Dillons. He said one of his dogs (Pomeranian) grabbed an armadillo by the tail one time but didn't phase the critter one bit and dragged the dog behind for several feet. That would've been a sight to see!!😄
And all these years I thought they only lived in the crypt at Draculas castle in Romania.
Hello Bob! Thanks for sharing this! I have to agree that they r fast and can turn on a dime, one night at work, a big one was n the parking lot, let’s just say it won the race, I was tuckered out, LOL. I wasn’t trying to catch to eat, just to get a close up look at it. All n all, that was an experience! Thank u
Fare well, small friend! However I do anticipate learning how you taste.
Like my dad says opossum in a half shell
Jejeje. Those i use to paint tbem in colors mostly withe n blue n a star ..texas flag 😁😁..other than that never eat them b4
Taste pretty good. Very easy to process.
Hope one day you show us ..that dont mean ima eat all of them 😁😁
How cool! It’s a beautiful animal. Thanks for sharing your video!
Interesting reproductive biology about armadillos- the mothers always give birth to identical quadruplets. Many don't survive to adulthood
Ive heard the story about leprocy,but only ones that are spotted. Dont how true it is.. Great info tho thanks.
Not sure. I usually only eat the younger ones. Older molting looks suspicious. Need to look into it more.
@@BobHansler thank ya. I got 2 youngun's rooting up my yard,i dont want to harvest them i just wanna play with em.
My grandpa told me that when he was young (he used to be a sheppherd in my home state, Nuevo León, Méx., which is south of Texas), he and his family sometimes ate armadillos, and that they could be easily barbecued because of their shell. I know it sounds cruel and gross, but that's what they used to do.
Okay how hard would it be to catch 2 and then breed them??
Do they bite ? I’m trying to find them near Houston
Rare in West Texas bob
Just occcured to me that you are right. Further west I’ve seen was around San Angelo.
Bob Hansler yeah usually the eastern part of west Texas that’s greener and more abundant with wildlife
Way to treat a beautiful creature... chad.
Thank you for the video sir….. you’re wearing the wrong hat for Texas good sir. Cowboy hat or Dallas Cowboys cap.
An armadillo terrorist has decided to decimate the root system of a mature maple in my backyard. TOTAL destruction on a scale I've never seen before... looks more like the work of a wild boar but I'm in a neighborhood in a fenced yard so we know it ain't that. What a nightmare we've got here.
It looks like they are wearing a jacket.
wow very cool
Cool stuff. I've heard they're very good to eat.. once had one coming n my yard at night to forage grubs (I'm n okla). It was like a lil pig n tore my yard to shreds. I chased it one evening about 10pm with a ball bat but it was way too fast. I put down insecticide to kill the grubs n that lil pig nvr came back....
They carry leprosy
They're very good eaten since I've eaten many of them that I've caught in Atascosa County as a Kid growing up near Jourdanton Texas..
They can also carry anthrax.
Anything that walks this earth can.
@@BobHansler LOL! As well as most things that don't. Pick just about any soil sample.
Man, I'd hate to have been a Wool Classer before antibiotics.
I don't like them cause they are greasy, but they are better than Nutria, (swamp rat) give me Rattlesnake any day as long as I don't have to mess with the live ones!
👍🏻🇺🇸
