Disclaimer: I would not recommend catching armadillos.
With the random warmer days here and there that we are currently experiencing in the Ozarks right now, a lot of armadillos are making their way out of their burrows and searching for food. You may have noticed that I've recently shared a few photo posts featuring these peculiar animals.
In order to take those particular photos, I chose to capture the armadillos first. Though this makes the photos "staged," it does increase the quality of the photo. Today I saw another armadillo, so I had Monster Truck the Pepper keep an eye on it while I grabbed the GoPro. Here is my short video of how I capture armadillos.
INCREDIBLE HOW TO VIDEO
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Armadillos happen to be one of the creatures that can carry the disease leprosy. The purpose of the video shared above is NOT to teach YOU how to capture armadillos, since that could lead to you getting leprosy. While some may have their doubts, please rest assured that I am NOT trying to get YOU infected with leprosy.
The video above was simple to allow you to see how I capture armadillos, in case you were wondering. To learn more about armadillos and leprosy, click here.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
They look nice.
Thanks for the heads up.
Me no catch anything I am not sure of.
Keep on steemit.

I do. Most things I catch I just take off after and try to grab. If the creature is in water, just replace the running with swimming, and it should work out.

Thanks for sharing. I see them occasionally on our homestead and out in the woods. I knew about the leprosy thing but, didn't think it was true... Thankfully, I only have watched them or chased them off and have not picked them up. Glad we erred on the side of caution! Great vid! God Bless!

I didn't know that armadillos can carry leprosy. I see young kids selling armadillos and iguanas by the side of the road here in Nicaragua. Families will buy these for about $5 and take them home to stew for dinner. I have a Swedish friend here who reminds me a lot of you. He is considered the wild man here and often buys all kinds of critters for the kids. He did buy an iguana and and an armadillo to eat, but BBQ'd them instead of stewing. He said the meat was tough and didn't have much flavour...
