My former hunting buddy and fellow attorney shot one with a .338 Remington Ultra Magnum from about 50 yds.
It blew that critter into about four big parts and a couple cups of what looked like pink applesauce.

The 200 yard armadillo shots are honestly one of my favorite parts of deer hunting

While neighbors and noise isn't really a concern for me, and my AR was my first thought, ive decided im just gonna be using my son's 10/22. Because its lightweight and its a built for competition, absolute tack driver.

They are bad here too. I caught 5 one year but this year I gave up. They’ve dug up and broken one of my sprinkler heads and dug under a “yard art” cub cadet tractor I leave out in the field next to the house. It’s now leaning to one side sitting in a collapsed burrow.

I hunt them every night in my back yard. Its quite enjoyable

This. I kill a ton of em and almost always at night. You can hear em comin a mile away. Suppressed .22 with a good light.

I'm using a suppressed 300BO with a green light. So much fun!

I'm not in the city either so I have used slugs and they are most effective! Most of the time I use a suppressed rifle since my family is asleep, lol

I’ve seen and killed more armadillos living in Fannin the last 5 years than I killed in the 8 years I lived in Taliaferro. Crazy.

I had great results with the higher powered 22 rounds like Stingers or Velocitors. Anywhere in the shoulderish area and they are DRT. I have a different zero with those rounds vs standard velocity, so I have one rifle sighted for the high velocity and another for the standard velocity.
