Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Kind of hard to snag detailed pics of it where it's sitting in my shop, i did snag one of the 2 bumpers sitting on a pallet and might have a picture of it mounted on the truck before I removed it.
It's this bumper https://trail-gear.com/armor/bumpers/rock-defense-1995-2004-tacoma-rear-bumper.html

 

Working the night shift tonight. Tell me some good local rumors/gossip/news that may or may not be Tacoma or off road related.

 

Tonight’s night shift post- what kind of animal do you guys think could dig out these rocks? Came out in my back yard this morning and there was a huge pile pushed out onto the grass. I filled the hole back in and went out for a few hours and by the time I came back it was dug back out. Looks like something trying to burrow under the rock wall. I’ve only seen chipmunks back there and I wouldn’t think they could dig out rocks that big.

Got the game cam setup so hopefully I can figure out what it is and trap it.

 

Raccoon? aliens? Night shift huh. I use to do that it was brutal and rough.

 

I think the hole is too small for a raccoon. We have like 6-8” layer of that landscaping rock so it’s just seems like something that small wouldn’t be able to move all of it.

 

Maybe a deer?

 

My guess would be armadillo if you were in Dallas where I currently am. Don’t think those are out there? They’re not huge but strong little fellas

 

That would be quite the surprise here in Sparks.

 

Voles my vote.

 

Skunk? They're mischievous and destructive little sobs.

 

Do we have rats up here? Or is this a chipmunk?

Edit or maybe this is a vole. Now that I look at pics. Whatever it is this little fucker has been tearing up my garden and yard and eating all my plants.

 

Looks like a rat to me. A rather large rat tho

 

Looks like a soon to be dead rat to me. I'd set out a few old school traps in the area and bait a couple with a dap of peanut butter and try a couple with whole almonds pressed on. I had them in south Reno and killed at least a dozen of them over the last couple of years. Some were small and some were big bastards like that one.

 

Anyone have a 2nd gen DS LCA they want to get rid of?

 

I believe I can hook you up sir. The boooshings and LBJ have already been pressed out.

 

PM incoming

 

Picked up a trap today so I’ll try the PB and almonds.

 

Sounds like a job for MR.suppressed 22

like such

 

Buddy of mine used a Gamo for a similar task, worked like a champ.

 

Shit, even with a 22short NO ONE will hear it
