Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Armadillos

Catch one in the trap, transfer it to one that has not had an armadillo in it (you can buy them scented or not, The Armadillo Trap) put a hand full of dirt in the top hole and wet it down with a hose. Leave armadillo in for a couple of hours and it is now scented.

They are expensive, but they work great. I bought the first one scented and have added several unscented and done the transfer myself.

The trigger is just a stick with a short nail in it that hooks under and eye bolt. attached to the two doors, when the armadillo goes in he has to hit it and the doors drop. Some videos on the site I included.
