Anyone ever use Duke 155 on armadillos? Would it work?

I've not tried anything but cage traps because the work so well.

I've never had any luck with bodygrippers. I think a 330 would but can't set them dry land here. I used 220s and find them fired no catch. I figure they slide right off the thick front plate, it would be angled perfectly for that to happen, without catching the small head. I think a 330 would hit a little further back. A 280 might as well.

Are you baiting them in or funneling them into it like a blind set?

Bait is fine but they are dumb enough to be funneled into and set off a cage without any. Northerners always assume a BG is the answer but the more of them you cage the more you will like it.

The best bait is armadillo funk. Use the first caught to funk up your cages rotating it around to crap and pee or put down a thin piece of plywood or carpet to soak up funk. This is why wooden diller traps work so well. Ive even dug up dirt from under traps that have caught.

Any lure maker that could figure out which glands, urine, etc need to go in a bottle would make a killing.

Jonesie and I once discussed him trying his hand at it but I balked at the idea of trying to ship a few dozen frozen dillers to New Jersey.
