west side porcupines

[littlebuf]

the only one ive ever seen was dead on the side of 512 the other day. any of you guys see um much. and is there a way to hunt them? i think a porcupine/coyote mount would be pretty cool

[madmack76]

let the dogs out lol they seem to find them if not drive the country roads and speed up when you seem them it helps my dogs lol i have a friend that just drives around in the woods and beats um with sticks quite funny but i stay in the truck i shot one one from 30 yards away and had quills at my feet

I got two at the house almost daily..  They are like pets.

I kill everyone I see. My gelding got into one a couple years ago, talk about fun, pulling quills outta his feet and nose by myself. Ya, not too cool..

they like old decked up logs, or where the brush and junk stuff was pushed off the side of the road and piled up.  They make their homes in that stuff, and feed is close.  I fed one during elk season,  he liked my apple core.   If he is still there wehn I get back in the area, he is dead, I think a mounted one would be cool.

They didnt seem to mind it.

I'd hate to think what a .223  V-Max tip would do to the little bugger.

.22 LR to the head, would be the easiest medicine for them, but, whatever is handy, including a club.

I grew up in Montana and we always tried to leave them alone.  The reason was that they where one of the slowest and easy animals to kill and if someone was lost or wounded it may save their lives.  That was just what i was taught.

Same here, but if you find an area with a ton of porky damage I can understand how some might want them all killed.
