^^^^This is true, an article in the paper over 20 years ago about armadillos migrating north because of climate change warned about letting children & adults touching those nasty critters because they are known to carry leprosy!!! Wear some good thick gloves to dispose of those things.
i would bet 10 american dollars that im the only one here on the trader who picked up your reference to the kang.
I bought 3 driveway sensors and place them around my yard where the most activity is. I turn the warning ringer on on the house after dark, when it goes off I grab my Maverick 88 12 ga and go outside and shoot them. Can be anytime of night. Have a flashlight mount that my SureFire fits and that's a big help. No neighbors so that's not a problem. I've been doing this for 7 years and no end in sight. After I kill 15-18 in a summer the traffic slows down a great deal but starts right back up next year. Good Luck !!
out at the hunting property (river property), i started killing them 2 summers ago. the last 2 summers, i have killed over 500 armadillos out there. my wife rode out there with me last summer and she said "whats that smell?????", i said "its the smell of success". that was 2 days after i killed about 30 in one trip.
we never saw a single 'dillo after about september, and havent seen a single one this year. by this time the lasy 2 summers, i would have killed atleast 100 of them by now. so if you hit em hard enough, youll eventually make a dent that will last a while.
i choot with a marlin 22, with a scope. i just get on the 4 wheeler and ride around with my maglite. they dont seem to care, as most of them are killed within 10 feet of the atv.
.17HMR would be way more fun than a shotgun!
I like to pop'em with the old faithful BUCKMARK. Helps to keep my aim honed especially when I go for eye shots.
