I’ve talked to multiple DNR agents over the years who tell me that the armadillo’s negative impact on ground-nesting game fowl is alot worse than what is described in this article, and they advise shooting the on sight, whenever and however encountered; they have far bigger concerns than citing people killing them out of “season.”

I don’t understand why you need a hunting license to shoot them on private land or the crap about only being able to shoot armadillos at night during certain months. THEY ARE NOT A FREAKIN’ GAME ANIMAL, FFS! They are a harmful, invasive species.
This sounds like typical DNR damnfoolery. I guess they are just another revenue collection agency.
