monday I was sitting in the DB blind with a buddy, and as we were getting ready to leave, an armadillo came rooting by. we were making an archery hunting video and while we were looking at him, we could see lots of things that looked like sores on his shell. The best way I can describe it is like if you take a painted barrel and shoot it with a .22. there is like a quarter size spot that the paint falls off. Well this is exactly what is shell looked like. Anybody ever seen this before?

Not too many dillos up here.

To prove to the armadillo it can be done.

Haven't seen one like that.

I did have one that came by my stand just about every afternoon a few years back. His tail had been whacked off somehow and he was left with a bob-tail. I named him Bob (of coarse)

Hey dwd just live down the road from ya in Duncan. I saw one last fall during season with the same sores. Didn't think much about it until I read your post. You described it pretty well. Maybe it's a Oklahoma thing.

I do know that armadillos cary leprosy, but I don't know what one with leprosy would look like.

rattlem- do you shoot at the duncan 3-d course?

Armadillos carry leprosy, but I don't think they can catch it. You reckon you guys just came across a couple that had been busted with a shotgun?
