HAA! 
.... when I lived down south in Louisiana those armadillos were all over the place! Some really nasty critters. Like to see someone come up with fly pattern using one of those hides.
I found an Ebay seller that sells Ause Possum in large quanities at a good price. So when they have in I stock up on it. Otherwise hard to find. Got a couple of reqular possum skins I use for dubbing but the Ause Possum is so much better.
