Record night for Armadillos up at Kickapoo Ranch, but not much else. 25 deer, no big bucks. Couple of coons and an opossum. Carried a little .22 but can't bring myself to shoot dillos. Alan has a night vision system that really works well and the Bronco was running so I could see well from the raised seat while he drove. All three surveys done so now the numbers can be crunched and submitted to the state biologist who will issue the permits. The deer numbers have been cratering for three years or more. We used to count in the 50s-70s. This years counts were 32, 11 and last nights 25. Unknown what is going on though those totals do parallel the drought.
Glad to have it done though I only have a small part.
Hunt will be on in about 60 days.

Yep, I'm hearing low counts all over Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Colorado...
Note: while dillos maybe cute with soft fury bellies, they are known to carry and spread leprosy.
One of the cutest things about dillos is how they cause a high-velocity projectile to fragment in their cute little shells, ergo the term possum on the half-shell.
