Good shooting Dennis.
currektid.
They carry leprosy on the pads of their feet I think and i heard it was 1 in 5 have it.
you oughta see what happens when a diller can't outrun a .308 ballistic tip.. Let's just say that you do not have to pick up any pieces or worry about burying said diller.
12 gauge slug at 3 feet makes a mess out of them too.....hard to dodge the goo at that range!
reason enough to turn them into mist.
Another board member (MitchRapp) and myself caught one live once, and not in a trap. Saw him in a yard one ofternoon, chased him down and got a cardboard box over him, then managed to get him in a 50 gallon trash can.
It was quite a show, Im sure we could be 10000 G's richer had we got that on tape.

All dillos have four young. .44 mag does a great job on them. Their little holes are tough on horses. We kill every one we see. Mini 14 is weapon of choice, but Ruger .44 carbine is most fun. Leperousy (sp?) has never been documented to have come from dillos to persons. Besides, it's now curable.

I was going to post that, but didn't want to quell the "spirit" of the guys
It was many years ago when I was a kid, my parents took us to the Worlds fair in San Antonio.
My moms sister lived in Beville Tx, south of Corpus.
We went quail hunting with my uncle, and the dillers were running everywhere in the misquite bushes.
Finally caught one, and my Uncle cut it out of the shell, seasoned it, and wrapped it in heavy foil. Built a fire in a hole in the ground, let it burn down, put the diller in there, and let it cook for 6 hours with dirt on top of it.
Finally dug it out, and it was like eating turtle. Some red meat, some white.
Pretty tasty actually, but then again it was years ago.
