Must be. I have seen 4 alive and 4 or 5 dead this year. A few years back I saw 7 then the last couple years maybe 1 total. Maybe they have a wierd boom/bust cycle?

Post by: Timber on September 14, 2008, 09:19:30 PM: I've seen 5 dead ones on the roads in the last few months. It seems strange, I can't recall ever seeing a dead porcupine along a road until recently.

Cool pictures by the way!
