Some critters on the Ranch, Porcupines.
These two were over about 1.5 miles from us on my mother and father in laws place.

Dogs haven't been the issue, one of the horses seems to think he is a porcupine whisperer Eek. About once a week we are pulling nettles out of his nose!

When I was a kid some porcupines were getting in to my Grandma's gold fish pond...

We got direct orders to shoot them out of the tree!

We don't have them around here. The only one I've seen was out in Colorado, dead along the road. Big Grin A good porky.

After what they did to my hunting blind I set a live trap with lettuce in it every trip to the property. Wish I could catch more than one at a time as they're thick at the property. Promptly dispatched and collect some quills. Not sure what I'll do with them other than make quill floats.

If you have anything built with plywood they'll destroy it.

Hey D, you do know if you snip the end of the quill off it pulls out much easier and is less painful for the recipient, right Wink

I'm told they taste quite good. A lot of people around here eat them.
