Are there Armadillo's in SILO
On a shed hunt today I saw a blur fly in front of me, and Nes was close behind. (Of course) I shout ARAMADILLO!!!, and wanted to be the 1st to post one here. NYA NYA.... So off I go... haulin butt behind the dog... (man those things are fast!) I'm bustin through brush and briars tryin to catch up to the two flying animals.
Nes runs the thing into a hollow tree.
Now you are MINE!!!!

Cool Bob. Great shots!

Neat - I've never seen one so close! My sister saw one outside Carbondale a few years back, and there was an article in the Southern about armadillos in SILO, but that was ages ago.

Oh hOly Moly - YOU lucky snot you!!!!!
Hats off to winning the great armadillo chase!!!
I'm so proud of you and Ness...
Great now I'm gonna be on the hunt for armadillos..and I did enough of that when I ran West Texas...
Actually we used to hit them for sport and see who could sail them the furthest with the truck bumpers...I am so ashamed...I was young and dumb...(but they fly just like footballs...)
