Quick Answer
For night hunting armadillos, wear clothing that allows for quiet movement and camouflage in low-light conditions, such as black or dark-colored long-sleeved shirts and pants, and soft-soled boots with good traction.
Choosing Camouflage
When selecting camouflage clothing for night hunting armadillos, consider the Texas landscape and environment. Earth-toned colors such as olive green, khaki, and tan can help you blend in with the surroundings, especially in areas with dense vegetation and dry earth. Avoid brightly colored clothing and reflective materials that can give away your position.
Night Vision and Safety
Armadillos are most active at night, so you’ll need to rely on night vision to spot them. Bring a night vision scope or binoculars to help locate your target. When moving through dense underbrush, use a headlamp or flashlight with a red light setting to preserve your night vision and avoid startling the armadillo. Wear protective eyewear, such as shooting glasses with a wraparound design, to shield your eyes from debris and branches.
Layering for Comfort
Wear layers of clothing to maintain a comfortable body temperature in cold night conditions. A base layer of thermal underwear, a mid-layer of insulating fleece, and a waterproof outer layer can help keep you warm and dry. Choose clothing with a bit of stretch for mobility and comfort. Consider wearing moisture-wicking fabrics to prevent overheating and discomfort.
