That's why I carry a towel in the truck, run up to the porky and throw the towel on it and shake it around, lots of quillsbut nobody looks at a porcupine and thinks "I bet I could snatched that off him"
You have to catch them out in the open on the groundI cant even talk them out of the tree
I'd hate to have that fall out on me. OUCHI cant even talk them out of the tree
I have seen that before, my uncle lost all the shin and muscle between his thumb and index finger doing that lolI've got a friend that volunteered to be the bait while I sneak up on a badger and catch him by hand
I would only eat one if I had to, they are covered with lice, mites and fleas usually.We have lots of porky's around central Mt and folks say you can eat them raw and they are considered a survival food and no season on them
