Hey you to come over my house. I got one he dug up my whole yard like he own the place. Then dogs a hole and go under my house. He won't never come out in the morning why everyone at school or work. Glad you got him cause they can mess up a yard
I got one in my have-a-heart last week. Made the mistake of putting the carcass in the trash can(bagged 3x in grocery bags then in a hefty bag which was twisted and tied). The smell after only 4 days was oppressive.
Problem I have with dillos is that they are up when I am not. I've occasionally seen one around 5am, but that's less than once a year, and I know they frequent my yard more often than that.
I have busted 3 possums in the last two months that wandered into that trap.

Just drop them off at the La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant in Pace or Milton :thumb: be sure to let them know before you start :yo:

will cleaning them with a 12ga, 3' magnum 000buck work? that would have the added benefit of dicing them up...
for a minute there, I thought it said she wants the dildos cleaned and deboned....:eyebrows:

After you clean them, the shell can be made into nice baskets, vases, etc., you see a lot of them south of the border :thumb:
Been at war with the nasty SOBs for several years now. Finally got the coons and possums down to a light whisper from a mighty roar. And the Armo Dildoes are down to an occasional stupid one. But me, the trap and the 6.5 Grendel with its can and its IR sight have had our way with them. That 160 gr 6.5 arrow anchors them to the ground, plenty, but a 22 CB cap was very iffy on a big dildo.
By the way, a $20 driveway alarm in several places will let you know when one crosses your yard.

I went to a seminar on minimizing/preventing animal damage. Presenters talked about catch them alive trapping dillos and letting the dillos loose miles away from the homes. I said the dillos have bent the traps getting out; presenters said NO; I stood up and asked the audience to raise there hands if dillos have bent their traps; MANY raised their hands; presenters didn't know what to say.
Tried the driveway alarms. While they work, I had too many false alarms due to neighbor's cats and dogs. I guess it would depend upon what other animals are present.
Now I live in the country, but a thermal sight (also have a silencer mounted) turned the tide.

what kind of treehugging PETA liberal would advocate relocating armadillos? they are not an endangered species whatsoever....destructive to lawns, they can carry leprosy, in pastures, their holes can break horse legs, they can burrow under concrete slabs & weaken structures...
let the PETA folks adopt em, or shoot em

Good looking trophy you got there, should be good eating and a nice basket out of the shell :thumb:
Up until a few years ago you needed a "gun and light" permit to shoot them after sunset in Florida. Plus you needed to call a FWC 1-800 number when you were going to go out shooting them after sunset in case someone called in a gunshots heard complaint. Yes, I followed the rules and had an armadillo permit. At least the permit was free.
I still have my old G&L permit. But when they did away with them, I just built a can or two so as not to disturb the neighbors. I still need a 1-10 or 8 twist liner to put in a 16 inch, cut off, 510 barrel so I can whack them with the SSS sub sonic 60gr 22 LR rounds. The fastest twist I have found in a liner is a 12 and it is too slow to stabilize the 60. I built a single shot pistol barrel to try the 12 twist and it went through the paper target at 100 oblong.
