Anyone have luck trapping Armadillo's? if so maybe some "how to". I walked up on one in the yard one morning and got rid of it, have another one destroying my yard, have spot lighted my yard all times of the night with no success. Thought maybe a MB 550 would help, if I could figure out how to go about it.

You're not going to reliably catch them with a foothold. The best trap is a scented wooden box. Or a lured cage.

If you don't have that ,you can build a funnel to the trap.


If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

They are NOT very smart animals, put up some very long wings to funnel them into a cage trap.

Can't be that hard. Everybody knows there are just up armored tactical possums.

Large live trap with long boards for wings to create a funnel. Find spot where they are feeding (rooting) and make the set with wings. Best live trap for this is one that's open on both ends. Once you make a catch the scent is as good of an attractant as anything. Where possible use edges like a chain link fence, side of house or anything that'll cause them to travel alongside the edge.
