I didn't tell today. Kind of cool.

It's in it's natural state/ habitat

I moved from the Paducah area in 2015 and they had been there for several years before I moved.

Should have wrapped that thing in bacon , and put it on the grill Jbyrd.

It was 92 and had rained. I think it was "DONE" why the shell popped opened . Sorta like pop corn .....

They sure are interesting animals. They were featured in the original Dracula, even tho they do not live in Romania! They were seen as creepy animals and associated with digging in graveyards, so the lore suggested that they would invade coffins, etc.
I’ve never seen one in real life.

beware! it's started now.

He doesn't look very happy

I could tell you all about them but most of it would go against the no dispatch rule.

I catch a ton of them every year. Occasionally I walk one up to catch by hand just for old times sake.

i have relatives in Southern Missouri, and Northern Arkansas that we go visit about once a year, for the past 40 years .

I've seen thousands of them ,just like that picture, but this year was the first time I ever saw one alive.

Two of them ran across the road right in front of me.

I've seen 3 dead ones this year so far. Last one a couple days ago at Eldorado Illinois.

About 30 yrs ago there was a dead one showed up at a little town near here. They had the local newspaper taking pictures and everything. It was big news for such a little place. A few months later the word got out that a local truck driver picked it up in Texas and gave it a ride. Later the word got out that they carry leprosy and things went quiet.

My son lives in west Tn, we go visit him and have seen serval dead on the western Ky parkway. Two years ago we did see on killed near Bardstown on Bluegrass parkway. according to Ky afield show not long ago they have seen in all of Ky 120 counties.

Kentucky has 120 counties? They must be small counties.

They are Lugnut, with assymetrical borders....Looks like a crooked law firm layed them out, Lol.

You ain’t kidding.

I live in the smallest county in the state

Seen them north of Cameron MO

Lol.... Foxpaw beat me to it...heard the same story but in a different state.

I found one near one of my snares a couple of years ago. I called the co about finding it. He said he ocasionally sees them. Found out later one of my buddies put it there.
Heard recently they are beginning to (invade) Iowa
