While walking back from the barn I saw an armadillo digging in the yard, (they will dig up your yard unmercifully) so I grabbed a shovel to smack him in the head. When I got up to him I smacked him in what I thought was his head, (remember it is dark) but no I hit him in the back which vibrated me to no end (their backs are covered in a bony shell). The armadillo,who is normally scared of people decided to fight back and came charging at me. Now the fun begins.
Here I am running from an armadillo trying to smack him in the head and not let him catch me, to me he seems like a fire breathing godzilla, he won't stop. I finally make it to the steps and run up to the house, thankfully he didn't follow. Now I go in and grab the 410 out of the gun cabinet and load it, going to get me one armadillo! Is he still out there? No, he is gone, it figures. Well I'll keep looking, and I will get him sooner or later.
Thought that I would share this while I sit here with my gun and wait for him to come back, may not get him tonight but I will sooner or later. Too bad you couldn't watch it, I bet that it was funny as hell. Too bad I couldn't have been watching! Ahh life in the country! I love it.
I was thinking George Thoroughgood, but Hey. Get that little beggar. I've heard they taste really good once ya cook 'em and get them out of the shell.....

Relax Peaches, I was yanking your chain... You're gonna learn that I have one of the weirdest senses of humor on the site.
Feed it to the buzzards, the hogs or anything else you like. Hell, keep the shell after they're done and post it as a warning to others...

I am relaxed now, damn thing like that chasing you, crap it's scary, don't think he could hurt you, but you never know. And lots of folks do eat them I hear, just not me.
Nothing wrong with your sense of humor, I thought it was funny, wish that I could eat him, that would be the ultimate payback.
Peaches, armadillo is easy to cook-up and quite tasty--provided the meat is tenderised in a marinade that has to have red wine in it. The wine breaks the meat down better than vinegar.
1 armadillo, dressed and cleaned 4 large onions 1 stalk celery 2 cans chopped mushrooms 2 cups rice, uncooked Salt and pepper to taste 10 cups armadillo broth
Boil armadillo until tender; reserve broth. Remove meat from bones. Cut onions and celery and cook in butter until tender. Add mushrooms and meat and simmer for 5 minutes. Put in a large baking pan or dutch oven and add 10 cups of hot broth; add rice, salt and pepper; stir. Place in 375 degrees F. oven and cook until tender. Serves 12.
