Armadillo or rabbit…some will never know!

BY DR. PAUL D. COREIL tIn the mid-1970s, I was a wildlife management student at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL), fascinated by the challenge of managing Louisiana’s abundant wildlife for public enjoyment, especially hunting and fishing in our beautiful and productive Sportsman’s Paradise! I had been an avid hunter all my life, so studying wildlife management seemed like a natural fit. My courses combined classroom instruction with plenty of hands-on field experience. We studied ecology, biology, game management and the many ways animals interact with one another and with their natural surroundings. Field trips took us into a variety of habitats where we observed mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish in their native environments. One particular field trip, however, stands out from all the others, not because of what we learned in a classroom, but because of what we had for supper!
