I admit I didn’t dig them out of the ground, but we watched this very accomplished tarantula hunter did holes in the ground and capture them. She holds them and defangs them with a little stick. Says she’s been bitten, just sick for 24 hours, no big deal. After taking them to her house she cleans them, kills them, seasons them and then fries them in vegetable oil. I have to say they were delicious. Kind of suspected because at the nearby market there were venders with huge baskets of them for sale…$.50 a piece.
