Okay, so not really a unicorn but just as rare. Armadillos have gradually moved into our part of the country the last couple of years. Usually we only see them dead on the road. Yesterday I had a couple of them rooting around under my stand. They’re strange creatures for sure.
They are a nonnative invasive that is a prolific breeder and nest destroyer. So for us they are one more threat to turkey, quail and other ground nesting birds. Also they are loud as can be in a hardwood stand. For me they are like a hog. Shoot every one you see.
Their spread north has been wild and frustrating to watch. I remember growing up hunting South Georgia and we had them there but they were a novelty. Then they started working north while I was in college in central Georgia, then to north Georgia, now to middle Tennessee. I haven’t seen one yet in kentucky but they are coming. I have a buddy who has shot over 30 since deer season started in middle/north Tennessee. Last year he had zero.

Thanks guys. Had no idea. I feel fairly ignorant about them.
Howboutthemdawags....when you say non-native invasive...you are referring to their spread North correct? They are native to all of the Americas I am pretty sure.
