Diller question

[Aries]

I have an armadillo in the yard that I've seen almost every day for the last week during the DAY time. Usually anywhere between 10 am and 4 pm.

I've never seen one in the yard during daylight before.

You can't run him off, if anything he might jump and run a couple of steps and stop. I've scared them before and seen them sprint across the road into the woods, but this one hardly reacts at all and just looks at you even if you kick him.

I'm thinking there might be something wrong with him. Does this sound like normal diller behavior?

I have one in my yard that behaves the same way. Judging by the amount of digging it's finding lots to eat.

Shoot it!

There's a decent possibility that's going to happen soon....

They will root your yard up where it looks like plow rows if you don't dispatch him. I have seen some let you walk right up on them and just look at you. Some won't let you get within 30 feet. They are dumb nasty creatures.

I kicked one earlier this week, (not in my yard).
It jumped a foot & a half in the air, then went about 3 feet & turned & looked at me & hissed.
Then I went back to work.

During colder seasons it is very common for armadillo to be out in the sunshine. You can use a couple 2x10 placed in a "V" with a box trap at the point of the "V" to catch it. Otherwise a 22-250 oughta do the trick. Other calibers will work but won't be as graphic.

A suppressed .22 usually works good.
