What's This?

I would think that you would notch the rod for the trigger.

Yep---notch in the rod that just catches on the lower edge of the "roof".

Haven't caught any yet, but when I do, I will re-locate them several miles away to the other side of the creek.

I'm also going to use a hole-saw to cut a couple of holes in each side so I can see what manner of critter I catch. Just need to put it out in the yard with some boards to guide them into the trap until I catch one and it is "seasoned" with armadillo scent.

Had to resurrect this thread to show off my awesome trapping success--

Here's the trap now:



Here's last night's catch:



And here's the score since last summer:

Dang you’ve caught a small herd of em!

[Radar]

Dang man , your festered up with em. Dont bring em near Stockdale.

I think I would start numbering them, if you are not killing them. To make sure you are not catching the same ones more than once.

Good idea, Spray em flo pink or something

Actually, looks like a rabbit gum, I'd bet few on here has heard that term.

Spray painted a couple of them bright red and haven't re-caught any of them. Our neighborhood is linear, with two streets that are parallel. Open pasture on the north and wooded/brushy pasture on the south. I never realized there would be so many--

That is a lot of dang armadillos.

Thanks for relocating them and not killing them.

nice dillo trap. Caught one in our yard last night and relocated him. Gotta keep one in there for a bit now and then to "reseason" it.
