I no .22 work's great. but I don't want to stay up all night. I'm getting to old to wait up and shoot them, how do you catch a armadillo, seriously can you live cage catch them or what? what can you use for bait and is it really effective or hit and miss. I've seen them foraging for food in the state park once and it seems they have no set direction they dart all over rutting up the grass looking for grubs or what ever they eat. ? thanks

no bait needed. just set up two long 12 " high boards in the area they are tearing up.. the longer the better, in a "V" ending at the box trap. they just go right in. or use the side of the house as one wall. they aren`t the sharpest tool in the shed. but if you go out the next morning and an anti is laying there with the box trap on her head, don`t blame me.

wouldn't blame you if a anti got caught , would probably help her looks anyways. so you are saying when they rutt & tear stuff up they will go their again the second night and start over again. seems odd. I understand the funel them in part,

The only bait that I ever knew to work well was fresh used worm bedding.
