Those are cool pics Barry. I don't know anything about porkys & I really didn't know they climb. Thanks for sharing.


:confused:  Maybe that's where it landed when you pulled it out of your butt on that coyote stand tho.  :shrug:     :laf: :laf:

People can and do eat them things and it's one of the reasons they are protected, they are an available food source to a lost or starving person.
They are great climbers and one of the reasons they get shot is their love of bark.  They will kill a shelterbelt or orchard trees if allowed too.
I think they are a neat animal and they always fascinate me.  Funny how people are scared of them cause there is not any documentation of an enraged porcupine attacking anything. :laf:

Not protected here, we need to save what little trees we have!  Excellent source of food in a survival situation.
