Live traps are expensive, large, and not as effective. The high cost with the large maintenance make it cost prohibitive, and traditionally trapping has been a poor mans hunting technique.
That's just for hog trapping (not real mainstream).
North Carolina still allows traditional trapping for quite a few species, including armadillo! The fur market is not what it used to be, but you can still make a few bucks trapping furbearing mammals. I haven't looked to see what an armadillo pelt is worth.
