I had read that armadillos can carry leprosy, yet I know they are in fact edible. Is the leprosy issue a serious concern when dealing with those things? Just curious. Jeff
You could probably find a buyer in Seffner..........
I remember Dilla on the menu at a couple of places in south Texas and New Braunfels Deer Cooler (a butcher shop) used to sell Dilla jerky. Got to be a YouTube video about cleaning and handling. I was tempted to try it but then I got a close look at the one I killed that didn’t run off. I don’t believe I have ever seen a more unappetizing looking critter.As a wise fella I worked for whenI was younger told me. “Don’t say I’ll never do that. Say I’ll have to be awful hungry before I do that!”

I butchered and tried some of the iguanas that I took last year in south Florida. It wasn't bad, but whoever said it tasted like chicken ain't been eating the same chickens I have. The texture of the cooked meat was tough and grainy. It'll do in pinch, but wouldn't be my favorite target to go after.

Might be better as jerky. Soft shell turtle are plentiful around here and I’m tempted to take one next time I go frogging. I haven’t eaten turtle since I was a kid but I think I remember how to clean one.
