that's what I am up hunting at 4:30 this morning. set up my perimeter alarm monday last week but he has either not been crossing or it has fallen over in the grass. Tonight I saw him for the first time and had a shot but missed 3 times. Scope must be way off, no way I can be that bad of a shot. I thought I had a hit but he went into the storm drain. I'll find out at daylight.

He's tearing up my flower bed that I spent a lot of money and time getting done. Trapping would work but less fun.

I can tell you one thing. Those traps from Home Depot can't hold an armadillo. I had a family that made a burrough under my house. One night I was watching as he entered the cage. He went in and 10 seconds later, he bent the shite out of the door and took off. At least I think that made him move his residence to one of my other neighbors.

Do you have access to a Gill net? Lay that out on the lawn were he is digging, in the morning you find him tangled up like you never believe, them you can take out the frustration on him with a weopon of your choice.

I know your pain... I was up hunting them for about two weeks. Started a thread just like you to vent and get some ideas. Ultimately, a .22 is the best defense. After killing 5-6, I think I've got the problem solved, for now. Haven't seen one nor has my yard been tore up in over a week.

Good luck!

DO NOT just run up to them and boot the shite out of them. Did it once. Thought I broke all of my toes.

We used to have a problem with them in our flower bed, when I was growing up. Mom and I would go searching for their burrows with pots full of water and drown them out. When they came running out we would shoot em dead.

I have some great childhood memories of armadillo hunting. I know, cool story bro.
